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

Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including imatinib, dasatinib and nilotinib are primarily used in the initial treatment of chronic phase (CP)-chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), as CMLs harbor the BCR-ABL fusion product. An increased number of lymphocytes and large granular lymphocytes (LGLs) have been observed in patients treated with dasatinib, but not other TKIs. The LGLs have been reported to be primarily natural killer (NK) cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). In the present study, a CP-CML patient who has maintained molecular response 5 for >2.4 years after stopping dasatinib was reported. Memory and effector CTLs and NK cells, were observed after 2.4 years of treatment-free remission, despite the fact that lymphocyte counts are not elevated in the patient. These results suggest that dasatinib may induce cellular immunity, including NK cells and CTLs and this cellular immunity may be maintained for a long period following cessation of dasatinib. The results suggest that this cellular immunity may provide a long-term cure without the need for continued TKI treatment.
