Acute lymphoblastic leukemia: an update on treatment and Brazilian perspective.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer, representing a major global health concern, particularly in developing countries. This review provides an updated overview of the epidemiology, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and a Brazilian perspective for ALL. Despite advances in chemotherapy and immunotherapy, survival disparities remain challenging, driven by socioeconomic and healthcare access inequalities. Present diagnosis incorporates immunophenotyping, cytogenetics, and molecular biology for precise stratification and treatment planning. Treatment has evolved from monotherapy to multi-phase chemotherapy protocols, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, monoclonal antibodies, and CAR T-cell therapy with risk-adapted strategies improving outcomes and offering hope in relapsed or refractory cases. However, these treatments remain largely inaccessible in low-to middle-income countries. Our review summarizes findings from Brazilian studies in children with ALL about diagnostics and treatment and highlights the importance of an accurate understanding of the national reality. Improved access to diagnostics, novel therapies, local multi-center studies, and pharmaceutical investment to enhance survival and quality of life for pediatric ALL patients is needed.
