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 plus azacitidine (VEN + AZA) is widely used in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study explored the role of static and dynamic profiles of mutational clonal burden to predict outcomes by analyzing marrow samples from 228 VEN + AZA treated AML cases at "Pre-treatment" (n = 228), "Best-response" (n = 105), and "Relapse" (n = 27) phases using targeted-capture sequencing. In a multivariate model, older age, prior AZA, TP53 mutation with variant allele frequency ≥0.10, and RAS-pathway mutations predicted shorter overall survival (OS), while BCORL1 mutation predicted longer OS. Notably, myelodysplasia-related gene mutations, which constitute adverse factors in ELN 2022, predicted favorable survival. Achieving composite complete remission (CRc) significantly predicted longer OS (P < 0.001) but showed residual mutations in 76.2% of the cases. Among CRc cases, relapse-free survival was stratified by molecular clearance of mutations other than DNMT3A, ASXL1, and TET2 (P = 0.04). In addition, 37% of relapsed cases showed a change of major clones, with 40% having potential targets of molecular-targeting treatment. This study revealed the novel prognostic role of myelodysplasia-related gene mutations and established the importance of molecular response assessment in CRc phase.
