Review in Blood cancer journal, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Venetoclax (VEN), a small-molecule inhibitor of B cell leukemia/lymphoma-2, is now FDA approved (November 2018) for use in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), specific to newly diagnosed elderly or unfit patients, in combination with a hypomethylating agent (HMA; including azacitidine or decitabine) or low-dose cytarabine. A recent phase-3 study compared VEN combined with either azacitidine or placebo, in the aforementioned study population; the complete remission (CR) and CR with incomplete count recovery (CRi) rates were 28.3% and 66.4%, respectively, and an improvement in overall survival was also demonstrated. VEN-based chemotherapy has also shown activity in relapsed/refractory AML (CR/CRi rates of 33-46%), high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (CR 39% in treatment naïve, 5-14% in HMA failure), and blast-phase myeloproliferative neoplasm (CR 25%); in all instances, an additional fraction of patients met less stringent criteria for overall response. Regardless, venetoclax-induced remissions were often short-lived (less than a year) but long enough to allow some patients transition to allogeneic stem cell transplant. Herein, we review the current literature on the use of VEN-based combination therapy in both acute and chronic myeloid malignancies and also provide an outline of procedures we follow at our institution for drug administration, monitoring of adverse events and dose adjustments.
