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

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) remains a high-risk pediatric malignancy characterized by aggressive disease behavior and poor outcomes after relapse, underscoring the need for novel targeted therapies. Our group reported that aberrant activation of the MAP2K7-JNK signaling axis is implicated in T-ALL pathogenesis, promoting leukemic cell survival, proliferation, and treatment resistance. In this study, we evaluated the anti-leukemic properties of the compound ASC69 in T-ALL cell lines and patient-derived xenograft cells using cell viability, apoptosis, and cell cycle analyses. Pathway inhibition was examined by immunoblotting. ASC69 exhibited dose-dependent cytotoxicity across multiple T-ALL cell lines, with IC
