All-trans retinoic acid combined with the VAH regimen for EVI1-positive acute myeloid leukemia: a case report with a brief literature review.
Article 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
EVI1 positivity is a well-recognized high-risk factor in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), typically characterized by complex molecular genetic abnormalities, suboptimal responses to conventional chemotherapy, and a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 42-year-old patient with EVI1-positive AML harboring the MLL-AF6 fusion gene, who failed to achieve remission after undergoing standard "IA" induction therapy and was then treated with VAH (venetoclax, azacitidine, and homoharringtonine) consolidation chemotherapy. The patient subsequently received all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) (20 mg twice daily, administered orally) and achieved complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRh) after 24 days, accompanied by a marked reduction in EVI1 expression relative to baseline levels. Following this, consolidation therapy consisting of one cycle of "VAH plus ATRA" led to complete remission (CR). This case suggests that the combination of ATRA with the VAH regimen may demonstrate promising efficacy and an acceptable safety profile in patients with EVI1-positive AML who are refractory to conventional chemotherapy. However, further clinical studies are required to confirm its wider applicability.
