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

Approximately half of patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) relapse or are refractory to hypomethylating agents (HMAs) and experience poor clinical outcomes. We previously reported improved survival in a phase 1/2 clinical trial combining the HMA guadecitabine with a programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor (atezolizumab) in HMA-relapsed or HMA-refractory (HMA-R/R) MDS, yet the biological features associated with durable responses to this combined epigenetic and immunotherapy approach remain unclear. Here, we performed integrated bulk and single-cell transcriptomic profiling of bone marrow samples from patients treated on this trial to identify molecular and cellular features associated with survival. Long-term survival was associated with the presence of immunosuppressive myeloid cells and primed dendritic cells at baseline, together with therapy-induced immune reinvigoration characterized by interferon pathway activation and expansion of effector lymphocytes. In contrast, short-term survival was associated with persistent senescence-associated inflammatory programs in CD34
