STI-571 must select for drug-resistant cells but 'no cell breathes fire out of its nostrils like a dragon'.

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

Seemingly disappointing, the Bcr-Abl kinase inhibitor STI-571 shares an 'unfortunate' characteristic with conventional cancer drugs: the development of drug resistance. I argue that the resistance must develop even faster to STI-571 than to conventional drugs, because STI-571 is so effective. This is predictable, but is it inevitable? And how do mechanisms of resistance in relapse depend on a degree of remission. In addition to mutation rate and number of tumor cells, one additional factor determines relapse vs. 'extinction' of the leukemia cell population.
