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

backgroundFor imatinib, a relationship between systemic exposure and clinical outcome has been suggested. Importantly, imatinib concentrations are not stable and decrease over time, for which several mechanisms have been suggested. In this study, we investigated if a decrease in alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (AGP) is the main cause of the lowering in imatinib exposure over time.

methodsWe prospectively measured imatinib trough concentration (C

resultsOverall, imatinib C

conclusionWe showed that systemic AGP levels are not likely to be a key player in the decrease in systemic imatinib exposure over time. As long as intra-individual changes in imatinib exposure remain unexplained, researchers should standardize the sampling times for imatinib in order to be able to assess the clinical applicability of therapeutic drug monitoring.
