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

rationaleSome acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients present with features mimicking the classical hypergranular subtype of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) but without the typical promyelocytic leukemia/retinoic acid receptor α (PML/RARα) rearrangement. Herein, we report an AML patient resembling APL but with nucleoporin 98/retinoid acid receptor gamma gene (NUP98/RARG) fusion transcript and Runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) mutation. PATIENT CONCERNS: An 18-year-old male presented at the hospital with a diagnosis of AML. DIAGNOSES: The patient was diagnosed with bone marrow examination. Bone marrow smear displayed 90.5% promyelocytes. Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis failed to detect the PML/RARα fusion transcript or RARα amplification. While real-time polymerase chain reaction showed positivity for the NUP98/RARG fusion transcript. G-banding karyotype analysis showed a normal karyotype.

interventionsThe patient showed resistance to arsenic trioxide and standard 3 + 7 chemotherapy, but eventually achieved complete remission through the Homoharringtonine, Cytarabine, and Aclarubicin chemotherapy. OUTCOMES: These measures resulted in a rapid response and disease control. LESSONS: Acute myeloid leukemia with the NUP98/RARG fusion gene and the RUNX1 mutation may be a special subtype of AML and may benefit from the alkaloid-based regimen.
