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

Most cases of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) are driven by the PML::RARA fusion gene, which is sensitive to differentiation induction therapy comprising of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO). Treatment with ATRA plus ATO has achieved remarkable clinical outcome in patients with typical APL. However, 5% of patients still died from relapsed/refractory disease, predominantly high-risk APL and variant APL. The diagnosis and treatment of variant APL remain challenging. Here, we report a case of TFG::RARA variant APL recognized by targeted RNA sequencing. The patient achieved a sustained complete response following treatment with venetoclax combined with ATRA. Currently, the overall survival (OS) of the patient has exceeded 30 months, and the progression-free survival (PFS) has reached 29 months. Our results suggest that venetoclax combined with ATRA may be an ideal treatment option for patients with TFG::RARA variant APL.
