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

Recent results from the phase 3 ENESTnd (Evaluating Nilotinib Efficacy and Safety in Clinical Trials-Newly Diagnosed Patients) study have demonstrated superiority of nilotinib over imatinib for the treatment of newly diagnosed Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP). Here, we report results from the Japanese subset of patients in ENESTnd, and assess whether results in this subpopulation are consistent with the overall study population. Seventy-nine Japanese patients with CML-CP were randomized to receive nilotinib 300 mg twice daily (BID) (n = 30), nilotinib 400 mg BID (n = 24) or imatinib 400 mg once daily (QD) (n = 25). Major molecular response rates at 12 months, the primary endpoint, were at least twice as high for nilotinib 300 mg BID (57%) and nilotinib 400 mg BID (50%) compared with imatinib 400 mg QD (24%). No patient on nilotinib progressed, while one patient progressed on imatinib. Both drugs were generally well tolerated and discontinuations due to adverse events were comparable among treatment arms. The results in the subpopulation of Japanese patients from ENESTnd closely mirror the results of the overall population, and support the use of nilotinib at 300 mg BID in Japanese patients with newly diagnosed CML-CP.
