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

backgroundAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) harboring NPM1 mutations constitutes a biologically and clinically distinct subtype, characterized by marked sensitivity to inhibition of the anti-apoptotic protein MATERIALS AND

methodsThis review comprehensively analyzes the available scientific evidence-including prospective clinical trials, retrospective cohorts, and real-world studies-to summarize current knowledge on the efficacy, safety, and therapeutic role of venetoclax-based regimens in NPM1-mutated AML. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: Accumulating data demonstrate that venetoclax combined with HMAs achieves high rates of deep molecular remission and significantly improves overall survival in patients with NPM1-mutated AML. Despite these advances, important questions remain regarding the optimal duration of therapy, as well as timing and criteria for treatment discontinuation. Minimal residual disease monitoring is emerging as a pivotal tool to guide therapeutic decisions and enable personalized treatment strategies.

conclusionsVenetoclax-based regimens represent a major advancement in the treatment of NPM1-mutated AML, promoting a shift toward more targeted and less toxic therapeutic approaches. Nonetheless, prospective randomized trials are required to establish standardized clinical algorithms and to refine maintenance and discontinuation strategies, with the ultimate goal of improving patient quality of life and long-term outcomes.
