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

In human acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a sub-population of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) drive disease initiation, therapeutic resistance, and relapse. However, the lack of reliable markers to distinguish LSCs from bulk leukemia cells has impeded progress in studying LSC pathogenesis and developing meaningful LSC-specific diagnostics and therapeutics. Existing LSC gene signatures, derived from bulk populations, cannot definitively identify LSCs at single-cell resolution. To address this, we analyzed large patient cohorts with bulk gene expression data and single-cell multi-omic assays to identify a prognostic gene signature that is specifically enriched in a clinically adverse AML sub-population. Using this signature, we defined and prospectively isolated CD34+CD90-CLL1-CD69+CD53- immunophenotypic LSCs that are significantly enriched for LSC content based on limiting dilution xenotransplantation assays. Our findings demonstrate the power of single-cell multi-omics to precisely identify a clinically relevant LSC population and establish a clear framework for future translational research in AML.
