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

The utility of imatinib in either the pre- or post-transplant period for Ph chromosome-positive (Ph+) ALL is uncertain. In addition, there have been recent concerns regarding imatinib and cardiac toxicity. We investigated the outcome of 32 patients with Ph+ ALL who received an allo-hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) at the University of Minnesota between 1999 and 2006. The median age at HCT was 21.9 years (range: 2.8-55.2). All patients were conditioned with CY and TBI. GVHD prophylaxis was CsA based. Of the 32 patients, 15 received imatinib therapy pre- or post-HCT (imatinib group) and 17 patients received either no imatinib (n=11) or only after relapse (n=6) (non-imatinib group). Overall survival, relapse-free survival and relapse at 2 years was 61, 67 and 13% for the imatinib group as compared with 41, 35 and 35% for the non-imatinib group (P=0.19, 0.12 and 0.20, respectively). Cardiac toxicity and TRM at 2 years were similar between groups. Thus, patients treated with imatinib in either the pre- or post-transplant setting had trends toward improved outcomes and no increase in cardiac toxicity. We suggest that imatinib be included in the peri-transplant management of all patients with Ph+ ALL.
