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

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is the best example of successful targeted therapy. Today, the overall survival of patients with CML treated by using tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is very close to that of the healthy population. The current question is: how can we further ameliorate the clinical outcome of patients with CML? Clinical trials have shown that some patients with CML in the chronic phase who achieve sustained deep molecular responses on TKI therapy can safely suspend therapy with no evidence of relapse. The long follow-up studies and the number of eligible patients have now validated the concept of treatment-free remission (ie, the ability to maintain a molecular response after stopping therapy). It should be considered as the future criterion to evaluate the success of clinical trials, especially if we want to take into account the quality of life of patients in addition to the economic aspect. Because post-TKI discontinuation follow-ups have been increasing over time with no evidence of relapse in some patients, the next step for the coming decade will be to address the topic of CML cure.
