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

purposeWe evaluated the population pharmacokinetics (PK) and exposure-response relationship of nilotinib in patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

methodsConcentration data from 493 patients with CML in chronic phase (CML-CP), accelerated phase, or blast crisis were used to perform a population pharmacokinetic analysis using nonlinear mixed-effect modeling. Steady-state nilotinib trough concentrations (Cmin) in individual patients were estimated from the population PK model for correlation with the efficacy and safety variables. Exposure-efficacy analysis was performed in patients with CML-CP, whereas exposure-safety analysis was performed in all patients who had both nilotinib PK data and efficacy/safety measures available.

resultsBaseline demographics and CML disease phase did not significantly affect nilotinib PK. Patients with a lower Cmin had significantly longer time to complete cytogenetic response (P = 0.010), longer time to major molecular response (P = 0.012), shorter time to progression (TTP; P = 0.009), and a trend toward lower response rates vs. patients with higher Cmin. A joint effect of prognostic risk score and Cmin on TTP was significant (P < 0.001). Nilotinib Cmin was also associated with the occurrence of all-grade elevations in total bilirubin (P < 0.001) and lipase (P = 0.002) levels.

conclusionsWhen tolerability allows, adherence to the nilotinib dose (400 mg twice daily) in order to maintain sufficient Cmin is important in maximizing the efficacy of nilotinib in patients with imatinib-resistant or -intolerant CML.
