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

Leukemia is a group of hematological malignancies with a complex pathogenesis and diverse clinical manifestations. Although traditional treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation have improved patient outcomes, their efficacy is often limited by non-specificity, drug resistance, and relapse. In recent years, targeted therapy has emerged as a major breakthrough, offering new opportunities for precision medicine in leukemia. The development of molecularly targeted agents has significantly advanced our ability to treat specific leukemia subtypes. However, challenges such as resistance to targeted drugs, adverse effects, and tumor heterogeneity remain significant obstacles. As a result, treatment strategies are shifting from single-agent chemotherapy toward combination therapies that integrate targeted agents, aiming to enhance therapeutic efficacy and reduce the likelihood of resistance. This review summarizes the current research landscape, clinical applications, and limitations of targeted therapies in leukemia, with a focus on recent progress in combination treatment strategies and ongoing clinical trials.
