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

Background: Despite established prognostic scores, predicting disease progression in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) remains challenging, and the role of specific immune cell subsets-particularly the PD-1/PD-L1 axis-in mediating fibrosis and transformation is poorly characterized. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic utility of novel immune-inflammatory biomarkers, including PD-1/PD-L1 coexpression with C-X-C chemokine receptor type 3 (CXCR3), CXCR3 expression on monocyte subsets, and systemic indices (systemic immune-inflammation index [SII], systemic inflammation response index [SIRI]), for predicting fibrosis grade, leukemic transformation, and survival outcomes in patients with Philadelphia-negative MPNs. Methods: In a prospective case-control study, including 90 Egyptian patients with Philadelphia-negative MPNs and 90 matched controls, we quantified PD-1/PD-L1 coexpression with CXCR3 and CXCR3 expression on monocyte subsets by flow cytometry. Validation employed targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) in the full cohort, complemented by focused mechanistic validation using bulk RNA sequencing (n = 20 primary myelofibrosis [PMF], n = 10 controls), single-cell RNA sequencing (n = 10 PMF, n = 5 controls), and targeted serum cytokine profiling (IL-6 and TGF-β; n = 90 MPN, n = 90 controls). Diagnostic/prognostic performance used receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, decision curve analysis, logistic/Cox regression, random forest/gradient boosting, and external validation in an independent Egyptian cohort (n = 30). Patient-reported outcomes were assessed with the Myeloproliferative Neoplasm Symptom Assessment Form (MPN-SAF). Results: PD-1/CXCR3 and PD-L1/CXCR3 were elevated in patients ( Conclusion: PD-1
