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

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) plays a role in tissue development, neural function, reproduction, vision, cell growth and differentiation, tumor immunity, and apoptosis. ATRA can act by inducing autophagic signaling, angiogenesis, cell differentiation, apoptosis, and immune function. In the blood system ATRA was first used with great success in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), where ATRA differentiated leukemia cells into mature granulocytes. ATRA can play a role not only in APL, but may also play a role in other hematologic diseases such as immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), non-APL acute myeloid leukemia (AML), aplastic anemia (AA), multiple myeloma (MM), etc., especially by regulating mesenchymal stem cells and regulatory T cells for the treatment of ITP. ATRA can also increase the expression of CD38 expressed by tumor cells, thus improving the efficacy of daratumumab and CD38-CART. In this review, we focus on the mechanism of action of ATRA, its role in various hematologic diseases, drug combinations, and ongoing clinical trials.
