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

Imatinib mesylate is a relatively new drug that targets the BCR-ABL chimeric protein, the molecular basis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). A phase II clinical trial in 39 Japanese patients in the first chronic phase of CML was conducted with imatinib mesylate at a dose of 400 mg/day. Hematologic complete response was obtained in 92.3% of the patients, complete cytogenetic response (CR) was obtained in 43.6%, and major partial CR was obtained in 20.5% of the patients. Although 29 of 39 patients required an adjustment of dosing because of grade 3 or 4 adverse events, most of the events were reversible, and 25 of the 29 patients were able to resume therapy. Between day 15 and day 35, grade 3 or 4 neutropenia and/or leukocytopenia occurred in 13 patients, and grade 3 thrombocytopenia occurred in 5 patients. Overall, nonhematologic grade 3 adverse events occurred in 28.2% of the patients. These data support the use of imatinib mesylate as the treatment of choice for chronic-phase CML patients.
