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

Despite advances in treatment, long -term survival in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains unsatisfactory. Standard induction chemotherapy achieves complete remission (CR) rates of 60%-80% in newly diagnosed AML patients; however, relapse and chemoresistance persist as major challenges. Combined multi-target therapeutic regimens have the potential to enhance response rates and improve survival outcomes. In this propensity score matching (PSM), single-center retrospective study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of a novel regimen-venetoclax-azacitidine combined with low-dose idarubicin and cytarabine (VAIA)།versus standard idarubicin-cytarabine (IA) therapy in newly diagnosed AML patients. Twenty-six patients treated with VAIA were compared with 52 patients treated with IA, with well-matched clinical and molecular baseline characteristics. The VAIA cohort demonstrated significantly higher CR and measurable residual disease (MRD)-negative CR rates compared to the IA cohort (84.3% vs. 61.5%, P = 0.037; and 80.8% vs. 53.8%, P = 0.026, respectively). Moreover, VAIA was associated with improved overall survival (1-year OS: 76.9% vs. 57.7%, P = 0.031) and leukemia-free survival (1-year LFS: 65.4% vs. 46.2%, P = 0.042). Subgroup analysis revealed that adverse-risk patients particularly benefited from VAIA (1-year OS: 69.2% vs. 32%, P = 0.045; 1-year LFS: 61.5% vs. 20%, P = 0.046). In both treatment groups, MRD-negative patients exhibited significantly longer survival than MRD-positive patients. The VAIA regimen also showed superior therapeutic effects in patients particularly in patients with adverse or complex cytogenetics and adverse risk, with an acceptable and manageable toxicity profile. These findings support further prospective evaluation of the VAIA regimen in AML.
