Neutropenia and infectious events during off-label treatment with venetoclax in children with malignant disease: a pharmacovigilance analysis of FDA adverse event reporting system reports.
Article in Annals of hematology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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, a BCL-2 inhibitor, is increasingly used off-label in pediatric malignancies, but safety data remain limited. This pharmacovigilance study analyzed 488 pediatric reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) involving neutropenia and infection with venetoclax use. Disproportionately reported events included sepsis, leukopenia/agranulocytosis, and pseudomembranous colitis. Most cases involved acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes and combination therapy. Network analysis revealed co-reporting of hematologic and infectious toxicities. These findings emphasize the need for vigilant monitoring and dedicated pediatric studies to guide venetoclax use and improve supportive care strategies in this vulnerable population receiving intensive or multimodal treatments.
