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

Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenus leukemia (CML) is widely treated with imatinib mesylate (imatinib), a potent inhibitor of the Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase. However, resistance to this compound remains a concern. Current treatment approaches include combinations of imatinib with nucleoside analogs such as gemcitabine, which requires equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENTs) for uptake, to overcome this resistance. Here we report that imatinib treatment decreased ENT1-dependent activity and mRNA expression. Although, imatinib-resistant cells showed decreased levels of both ENT1 and ENT2 activity and expression, these cells remained sensitive to gemcitabine, suggesting that nucleoside analogs can be used as adjunctive therapy.
