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

Myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) disrupt bone marrow hematopoiesis, yet clinical assessment relies largely on blast enumeration and qualitative morphology, which incompletely capture marrow architecture and disease state. We applied whole-slide multiplex immunofluorescence imaging with single-cell phenotyping to map bone marrow microarchitecture in MDS. Diagnostic biopsies (n = 36), longitudinal treatment samples (n = 29), precursor states (n = 13), and normal controls (n = 21) were analyzed, comprising >5 million spatially resolved cells. MDS marrow exhibited coordinated, genotype-imprinted architectural remodeling, including altered progenitor composition and spatial patterning, disrupted erythroid island organization, and displacement of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells from perivascular niches. Interrogation of 82 cellular and spatial features yielded a composite Microarchitectural Perturbation Score (MDS-MAPS), derived from diagnostic samples and fixed prior to longitudinal analyses. In leave-one-patient-out cross-validation, MDS-MAPS discriminated remission from active disease more accurately than blast percentage (AUC 0.883 vs 0.660) and distinguished low-blast MDS from clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance (CCUS) (AUC 0.815). Mixed-effects modeling showed MAPS decreased in remission statistically independent of blast burden, with architectural normalization during remission and re-emergence at relapse. These findings define quantitative bone marrow architecture as a dynamic tissue-state biomarker that complements molecular and blast-based assessment in MDS.
