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)--based induction therapy has demonstrated considerable promise in treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, the optimal VEN-based combination therapy remains to be established. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of the venetoclax-homoharringtonine-cytarabine (VHA) regimen in patients with newly diagnosed (ND) AML. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 55 patients treated with the VHA regimen. The overall response rate (ORR) was 92.7% (51/55, 95% CI 82%-98%), and the composite complete remission (CRc) rate was 87.3% (48/55, 95% CI 76%-95%). Among the 48 patients who achieved CRc, 91.7% (44/48, 95% CI 67%-90%) achieved complete remission (CR), and 85.4% (41/48, 95% CI 72%-94%) reached measurable residual disease (MRD)-negative CR. In the adverse-risk group, ORR and CRc were 95% (19/20, 95% CI 75%-100%) and 75% (15/20, 95% CI 51%-91%), respectively. The most common grade 3-4 adverse events were febrile neutropenia (32.7%), pneumonia (16.3%), and sepsis (9.1%). Median overall survival (OS) was 26 months, while event-free survival (EFS) was not reached. One-year OS was 83%, and one-year EFS was 82%. These preliminary data suggest that the VHA regimen achieves a very high rate of CR and low toxicity, particularly for adverse-risk AML patients.
