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

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) harboring IDH1 mutations presents unique metabolic vulnerabilities that remain incompletely addressed by current targeted therapies. In this study, we demonstrate that IDH1-mutant AML cells are markedly more sensitive to cuproptosis induced by the copper ionophore elesclomol (ES), compared to their wild-type counterparts. While ES impairs mitochondrial function in both cell types, transcriptomic profiling reveals that ES treatment induces a global downregulation of lipid metabolism pathways. Functional assays further show that IDH1-mutant cells rely more heavily on exogenous fatty acids and exhibit impaired
