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

Although there is an approved indication for venetoclax and hypomethylating agents (VenHMA) and its use in different AML settings will be expanded in the following years, the management of the adverse events (AEs) lacks of harmonized algorithms during treatment of these patients. We have studied the incidence of relevant AEs of 43 patients who achieved a response to VenHMA and its management. Median overall survival of our cohort was 19 months. No patients discontinued treatment due to AEs after C3D1, Regarding severe AEs, high rates of grade 4 neutropenia (97.6%) and grade 4 thrombocytopenia (65.1%) were observed. Severe infectious AEs rate was 16%. Due to severe myelotoxicity, most patients required a progressive dose reduction of both venetoclax and hypomethylating agents during follow-up, being 87.8% at C6D1. Transfusional dependence rate was 91% and G-CSF was prescribed to 86% of the patients. Finally, there was not a significant difference in hemoglobin, platelets and absolute neutrophil count after achieving complete response comparing paired samples during follow-up, although cytopenia rate was high during initial follow-up. We conclude that dose reduction of VenHMA after achieving a response in patients diagnosed with AML is required in most patients and essential to avoid prolonged cytopenia-related adverse events and a rapid and standardized method on how to perform it might decrease the AEs rate.
