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

Chemotherapy resistance poses a significant challenge in the initial treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) has been shown to play a critical role in cancer progression; however, the potential mechanisms by which GDF-15 contributes to AML progression and chemotherapy resistance remain unclear. We found that M2 macrophages secrete high levels of GDF-15, promoting resistance of AML cells to mitoxantrone (MTX). Furthermore, we demonstrated that MTX induces downregulation of the SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling axis in AML cells, mediating ferroptosis. GDF-15 enhances the expression of the SLC7A11/GPX4 axis, thereby inhibiting ferroptosis in AML cells and contributing to drug resistance. In addition, GDF-15 mitigates the decline in mitochondrial membrane potential and mitochondrial quality induced by MTX. In vivo experiments indicate that blocking GDF-15 effectively enhances the sensitivity of AML cells to mitoxantrone by reducing the expression of the SLC7A11/GPX4 axis.
