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

Resistance to the Bcl-2-specific inhibitor, Venetoclax (VEN), poses a therapeutic challenge in the management of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and acute myeloid leukemia. Although VEN resistance has been linked to Mcl-1 upregulation, thereby switching survival dependence from Bcl-2 to Mcl-1, the mechanism underlying increased Mcl-1 expression remains elusive. Given that changes in cellular redox state affect cancer cell fate, we investigated the crosstalk between intracellular redox milieu and Mcl-1 upregulation in VEN-resistant cells. Results show that increased Mcl-1 protein levels in VEN-resistant hematologic malignant cells are associated with elevated intracellular superoxide (O
