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

backgroundThe FIP1L1/PDGFRA (F/P) fusion gene is the most common clonal genetic abnormality of chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL). Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), such as imatinib, have been demonstrated to be effective therapies for F/P mutated disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the treatment response and long term prognosis in patients with F/P mutated CEL.

methodsThe clinical features and treatment responses of 33 consecutive patients with F/P mutated CEL between August 2006 and October 2014 were analyzed. The 33 cases received imatinib therapy at an initial dose of 100 mg/day (30 patients) or 200 mg/day (3 patients); the maintenance dose depended on the response condition and patient willingness. Through the follow up, the molecular responses were regularly monitored.

resultsWith a median follow up of 64 months, 94% of the 33 patients with F/P mutated CEL achieved a complete hematologic remission (CHR), and 97% achieved a complete molecular remission (CMR) after a median of 3 (1.5-12) months. Twenty-four cases received maintenance therapy, with a median CMR duration of 43 (5-88) months. Imatinib therapy was discontinued in 8 cases, including 4 cases who experienced relapse, and 4 patients who maintained CHR or CMR after discontinuing therapy with a median time of 47 (2-74) months. One case exhibited primary resistance with a PDGFRA T674I mutation.

conclusionsF/P mutated CEL has an excellent long-term prognosis following imatinib therapy. A 100 mg daily dose of imatinib is sufficient to induce remission, and a single 100 mg weekly dose maintains a durable remission. A subgroup of patients may maintain a durable remission after discontinuing therapy with a CMR.
