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

The addition of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to the standard anthracycline-base chemotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) over the last decades, becoming a model for precision medicine. The protocols based on the combination of ATRA and chemotherapy allowed obtaining excellent response rates both for children and adults. However, the persistence of anthracycline chemotherapy as a backbone was a matter of concern for both acute and long-term complications. Efforts in reducing anthracycline cumulative dose or even eliminating anthracycline have been pursued in more recent pediatric protocols thanks to the introduction of arsenic trioxide (ATO). The impressive results of the ATRA/ATO combinations led to the introduction of protocols completely chemotherapy-free for standard-risk adult patients as the standard of care, whereas pediatric chemo-free protocols are still currently under evaluation. In this Review, we will critically retrace the history of this unique revolution in precision medicine, discussing the peculiar advantages for pediatric patients with APL.
