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: Induction with azacitidine and venetoclax (AZA-VEN) is standard therapy for patients 75 years or older or those with comorbidities that preclude intensive chemotherapy (IC) for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Data on the impact of AZA-VEN on allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) outcomes in younger, fit patients are limited. Methods: In a single-center retrospective study, we examined adult patients with newly diagnosed AML receiving either AZA-VEN or IC (cytarabine and anthracycline) to attain first complete remission (CR) before allogeneic HCT with posttransplant cyclophosphamide-based graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis between 2023 and 2025. Results: The median age in the AZA-VEN (N = 14) and IC (N = 17) groups was similar (67 years (62-69) vs. 63 years (54-66), P = 0.13). The AZA-VEN group had more adverse-risk AML (93% vs. 41%, P = 0.001). Otherwise, there were no significant differences in Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Comorbidity Index, secondary AML incidence, minimal residual disease (MRD) status, or donor types between the two cohorts. The AZA-VEN and IC cohorts had similar 1-year overall survival (69.2%, 95% confidence interval (CI) (48.2-99.5) vs. 75%, 95% CI (56.5-99.7), P = 0.73), 1-year relapse-free survival (57.1%, 95% CI (36.3-89.9) vs. 64.7%, 95% CI (45.5-91.9), P = 0.67), 1-year GVHD-free relapse-free survival (57.1%, 95% CI (36.3-89.9) vs. 64.7% 95% CI (45.5-91.9), P = 0.67), 1-year cumulative incidence of relapse (14.3% vs. 11.8%, P = 0.84), 1-year cumulative incidence of non-relapse mortality (28.5% vs. 23.5%, P = 0.76), 1-year cumulative incidence of grade 3-4 acute GVHD (14.3% vs. 5.9%, P = 0.46), and 1-year cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD (7.1% vs. 11.8 %, P = 0.67). On multivariable Cox analysis, there was no significant impact of treatment cohort (AZA-VEN vs. IC), MRD, adverse-risk genetics, acute GVHD, Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Comorbidity Index, or age on overall survival. Conclusions: In newly diagnosed AML, AZA-VEN and IC induction yield comparable outcomes after allogeneic HCT, regardless of age or adverse genetics, warranting prospective studies.
