From low remission to hope: the efficacy of targeted therapies in NUP98-R positive pediatric acute myeloid leukemia.

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.
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
backgroundTreating pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with NUP98 rearrangement (NUP98-R) is challenging. Standard chemotherapy results in low remission rates. This study aimed to evaluate different induction regimens and explore alternative therapies to improve outcomes.
methodsThis retrospective study included 111 pediatric patients with AML treated at our institution from March 2012 to March 2023. Patients were classified into two groups: NUP98-R-positive (n = 10) and NUP98-R-negative (n = 101). We compared their clinical characteristics, treatment responses, and prognoses. Additionally, we presented three cases of NUP98-R-positive patients to elaborate on the role of targeted therapies during induction in treatment outcomes and prognosis.
resultsPatients with NUP98-R fusion genes had a complete remission (CR) rate of 20% after the first induction, which was significantly lower than the 64.3% reported in those without NUP98-R fusion genes (P < 0.05). The 3-year event-free survival (EFS) rate was also lower, with only 30% for NUP98-R patients and 55.3% for non-NUP98-R patients (P < 0.05). The prognosis of NUP98-R patients improved with targeted therapies during induction. For example, Patient 1 achieved CR with FLT3 and BCL-2 inhibitors plus conventional chemotherapy. Patient 2, who was treated with a CDK6 inhibitor, a BCL-2 inhibitor, azacitidine, and an FLT3 inhibitor, also achieved CR and underwent successful stem cell transplantation. Conversely, Patient 3, who received only standard chemotherapy, did not achieve remission and died from a severe infection.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that using targeted drugs for the induction in NUP98-R pediatric AML improved treatment outcomes. BCL-2, FLT3, and CDK6 inhibitors available at our institution are promising options for this phase of treatment.
