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

Pevonedistat, the first small-molecule inhibitor of NEDD8-activating enzyme, has demonstrated clinical activity in Western patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). We report findings from a phase 1/1b study in East Asian patients with AML or MDS, conducted to evaluate the safety/tolerability and characterize the pharmacokinetics of pevonedistat, alone or in combination with azacitidine, in this population, and determine the recommended phase 2/3 dose for pevonedistat plus azacitidine. Twenty-three adult patients with very high/high/intermediate-risk AML or MDS were enrolled in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. All 23 patients experienced at least one grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse event. One patient in the combination cohort reported a dose-limiting toxicity. Eighteen patients discontinued treatment; in nine patients, discontinuation was due to progressive disease. Three patients died on study of causes considered unrelated to study drugs. Pevonedistat exhibited linear pharmacokinetics over the dose range of 10-44 mg/m
