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: Due to the high risk of invasive fungal disease (IFD) in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, the antifungal drug posaconazole is often co-administered with venetoclax. As posaconazole is a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4, the standard dosing regimen may lead to the elevated plasma concentrations of venetoclax due to potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Therefore, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is necessary to optimize the dosage. Methods: This study developed and validated a rapid and sensitive ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantification of venetoclax and posaconazole in human plasma. Plasma samples were pretreated using acetonitrile precipitation. The chromatographic separation was achieved using an Acquity BEH C18 column with gradient elution. The mobile phase consisted of 0.1% formic acid in water and acetonitrile, with a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min. Results: The method demonstrated good sensitivity and linearity within the concentration ranges of 10-15,000 ng/mL for venetoclax and 10-10,000 ng/mL for posaconazole, respectively. Additionally, the method showed acceptable selectivity, intra-day precision, inter-day precision, accuracy, matrix effects (95.2% to 102.0% for venetoclax and 98.4% to 102.5% for posaconazole), extraction recovery (93.2% to 95.4% for venetoclax and 87.8% to 95.8% for posaconazole), and stability under various conditions. The trough concentrations of venetoclax were 9326.88 ± 12,169.05 ng/mL in patients treated with venetoclax alone, and 31,623.55 ± 28,453.67 ng/mL in patients treated with venetoclax in combination with posaconazole. Conclusion: A rapid and simple method was established and successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of the concentrations of venetoclax and posaconazole in AML patients, providing a basis for TDM and clinical pharmacokinetic analysis of these drugs in AML patients.
