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

backgroundLow trough imatinib concentration (C

methodsAn observational study was performed in imatinib-treated GIST patients. Patient and tumour characteristics were derived from the Dutch GIST Registry and medical records. Imatinib concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The analyses included the occurrence of a low imatinib C

resultsIn total, 421 plasma samples were available from 108 GIST patients. Most patients (79.6 %) received an imatinib dose of 400 mg. The inter- and intrapatient variabilities in C

conclusionIn routine clinical care, one third of GIST patients are systematically underexposed with a fixed dose of imatinib. Prospective clinical studies are needed to investigate the value of C
