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

backgroundNilotinib is a BCR-ABL kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML). The UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) polymorphism UGT1A1*28 (*28)/*28 has been linked to an increased risk of hyperbilirubinemia in patients with CML who receive nilotinib. Beside *28, UGT1A1*6 (*6) is another important variant allele in Japanese patients because it is associated with adverse events of irinotecan, metabolized by UGT1A1. We retrospectively investigated the association between severe toxicity of nilotinib and UGT1A1 polymorphisms (*6 and*28) in Japanese patients with CML. PATIENTS AND

methodsEight patients with cytogenetically confirmed CML who were receiving nilotinib were studied to explore the association of UGT1A1 polymorphisms with severe nilotinib-related toxicity. Genotyping analyses were determined for *6 and *28.

resultsAll 3 patients with the *6/*6 or *6/*28 genotype had severe toxicity, including QT interval prolongation (grade 3), elevated lipase levels (grade 3) plus hyperbilirubinemia (grade 2), and anemia (grade 3) plus hepatic cyst hemorrhage (grade 2) in 1 patient each. Among the 5 patients with the *6/*1 or *1/*1 genotype, 1 had elevated lipase levels (grade 3) and another had severe pain in the lower extremities (grade 3).

conclusionThese findings suggest that UGT1A1 polymorphisms are important determinants of severe toxicity of nilotinib in Japanese patients.
