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

Acute promyelocytic leukemia is characterized by gene rearrangements that always involve the retinoic acid receptor alpha on chromosome 15. In the majority of patients t(15;17) is detected, which generates the promyelocytic leukemia gene/retinoic acid receptor alpha rearrangement. This rearrangement interacts with several proteins, including the native promyelocytic leukemia gene, thus causing its delocalization from the nuclear bodies, impairing its function. The immunofluorescence staining technique using the anti-PML antibody may be used to provide a rapid diagnosis and to immediately start therapy using all-trans retinoic acid. The experience of the International Consortium on Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia has demonstrated that early mortality was significantly reduced by adopting the immunofluorescence technique. All-trans retinoic acid combined with chemotherapy is the standard therapy; this promotes complete remission rates greater than 90% and cure rates of nearly 80%. However, early mortality is still an important limitation and hematologists must be aware of the importance of treating newly diagnosed acute promyelocytic leukemia as a medical emergency.
