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

B-lymphoid/myeloid mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL) is a rare subtype of acute leukemia that most likely originates from hematopoietic pluripotent stem cells. It is a heterogeneous group of leukemia characterized by the expression of more than 1 specific marker from each hematopoietic lineage (lymphoid and myeloid-specific antigens). The MLL-AF4 fusion gene is a common genetic abnormality in MPAL. Due to the lack of thorough understanding and the rare occurrence of B-lymphoid/myeloid MPAL, it presents substantial challenges in determining the standard treatment protocol. The absence of a widely accepted optimal treatment for MPAL has indicated the need for a more effective and less toxic approach. This case report presents two cases of B-lymphoid/myeloid MPAL with MLL-AF4 genetic abnormality successfully treated with a chemo-free regimen composed of venetoclax, hypomethylating agents, and blinatumomab and achieved complete remission (CR). Considering the results of this case report, the combination of a chemotherapy-free regimen could be considered a safe and effective treatment approach for patients with B-lymphoid/myeloid MPAL.
