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 majority of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients express either e13a2 or e14a2 BCR-ABL1 transcripts. Variant fusion genes can arise, usually due to alternative splicing of either BCR or ABL1 exons, with molecular monitoring by quantitative PCR (qPCR) in response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy rarely reported in such cases. A case of CML is described in which an e13a3 BCR-ABL1 fusion was characterised. A qPCR methodology was developed and applied prospectively to demonstrate a favourable molecular response to imatinib treatment. This case serves to highlight the requirement for molecular monitoring of those CML patients harbouring the e13a3 and other variant BCR-ABL1 transcripts.
