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

Background: The response rate of traditional first-line induction chemotherapy (IC) for newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia needs to be improved, but it is not clear whether adding venetoclax or hypomethylating agents (HMAs) to IC will improve the response rate. Objective: To determine whether venetoclax or HMAs could increase the response rate of IC in patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Design: A retrospective, propensity score matching analysis. Methods: Newly diagnosed AML patients at Tongji Hospital between 2021 and 2023 were included in this study. By matching cases and controls based on age, gender, baseline bone marrow blast cell proportion, type of AML, and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) risk stratification group, we compared the response rate (CR, CR/CRi, ORR, and MRD negative) and hematological adverse events in newly diagnosed AML treated with IC plus venetoclax or HMAs versus IC alone after one cycle of IC. Results: The addition of venetoclax could improve CR/CRi of IC (83.8% for IC plus venetoclax vs 66.1% for IC alone, Conclusion: Adding HMAs might improve CR/CRi of IC including IA. Adding venetoclax might not improve CR/CRi of IA. A well-designed prospective randomized controlled study is now warranted.
