Review in Zhonghua xue ye xue za zhi = Zhonghua xueyexue zazhi, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) was historically regarded as the most aggressive subtype of acute leukemia due to its high early mortality rate. The transformation in APL treatment represents a milestone in targeted cancer therapy. The discovery and clinical application of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenic trioxide (ATO) have dramatically improved the prognosis of APL, increasing the 5-year overall survival rate from less than 35% to over 90%. Chinese hematology/oncology community have made significant contributions to this transformation: Professor Wang Zhenyi's group pioneered ATRA-induced differentiation therapy, while Professor Zhang Tingdong's group verified the clinical efficacy of ATO. The research team of Shanghai Institute of Hematology (SIH) cloned the PML::RARA fusion gene resulting from the chromosomal translocation (15;17) and the first variant PLZF::RARA fusion gene. Based on the characterization of the leukogenesis at molecular and cellular levels and the mechanisms of action of effective drugs, the SIH team established a synergistic targeted therapy protocol for newly diagnosed APL patients, achieving a disease-free survival rate of 95.7% in a nationwide multi-center clinical trial. Subsequently, several teams explored the use of oral arsenic (Realgar-Indigo naturalis formula or oral ATO solution) combined with ATRA to treat APL, which is of high cost-effectiveness and can be promoted in resource-restricted regions. This review systematically summarizes the key therapeutic breakthroughs in APL, elucidates the underlying scientific mechanisms and clinical significance, and identifies remaining challenges for optimizing disease management.
