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

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-based therapy for acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), is the most successful example of differentiation therapy. Although ATRA can induce differentiation in some non-APL AML cell lines and primary blasts, clinical results of adding ATRA to standard therapy in non-APL AML patients have been inconsistent, probably due to use of different regimens and lack of diagnostic tools for identifying which patients may be sensitive to ATRA. In this study, we exposed primary blasts obtained from non-APL AML patients to ATRA to test for differentiation potential in vitro. We observed increased expression of differentiation markers, indicating a response to ATRA, in four out of fifteen primary AML samples. Three samples in which CD11b increased in response to ATRA had an inversion of chromosome 16 as well as the CBFB-MYH11 fusion gene, and the fourth sample was from a patient with KMT2A-rearranged, therapy-related AML. In conclusion, we identified a subgroup of non-APL AML patients with inv(16) and CBFB-MYH11 as the most sensitive to ATRA-mediated differentiation in vitro, and our results can help identify patients who may benefit from ATRA treatment.
