1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The RHO GTPase family regulates cytoskeleton-dependent processes, including proliferation and migration. Although their dysregulation is well described in solid tumors, little is known about their role in hematologic malignancies. We investigated the expression of ten RHO GTPase genes in bone marrow samples from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) and analyzed TCGA AML data for prognostic associations. RHOBTB2, RND2, and RHOQ were differentially expressed compared with healthy controls. RHOBTB2 was elevated in both MDS and AML and associated with inferior overall and disease-free survival, including in intermediate-risk AML. Our findings reveal distinct dysregulation patterns of RHO GTPases in myeloid malignancies and confirm RHOBTB2 as a candidate prognostic marker in AML with a potential oncogenic role. These data support further investigation into the functional roles of RHO GTPases in leukemogenesis and their utility as emerging biomarkers in hematologic cancers.
