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

purposeVenetoclax, a selective BCL-2 inhibitor, demonstrates efficacy in acute leukemia (AL) but variable pharmacokinetics. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) may provide valuable pharmacologic insights for optimizing venetoclax therapy. This study explored the factors influencing plasma venetoclax concentrations and their correlation with febrile neutropenia (FN), aiming to establish predictive thresholds.

methodsAL patients receiving venetoclax between August 2023 and March 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. Plasma concentration, baseline characteristics, pharmacogenomics, and clinical parameters were collected. Univariate and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to identify determinants of venetoclax concentrations and factors associated with FN incidence. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to define FN-predictive thresholds.

resultsThe cohort comprised 123 patients, with FN developing in 35 cases (28.5%). The median trough concentration (C

conclusionHigher venetoclax concentrations increase FN risk. Regular monitoring of blood venetoclax concentration using TDM may help identify patients at increased FN risk. The determination of this concentration threshold can provide a basis for optimizing the treatment quality of AL patients.
