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

introductionThe treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has drastically improved the outcome of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients. This study was conducted to examine the risk of secondary cancers (SCs) in the CML patients who were diagnosed and treated in the TKI era in the United States.

methodsThe surveillance epidemiology and end results (SEER) database was used to identify CML patients who were diagnosed and received treatment during January 2002-December 2014. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and absolute excess risks (AER) were calculated.

resultsOverall, 511 SCs (excluding acute leukemia) developed in 9,200 CML patients followed for 38,433 person-years. The risk of developing SCs in the CML patients was 30% higher than the age, sex and race matched standard population (SIR 1.30, 95% CI: 1.2-1.40;

conclusionCML patients diagnosed and treated in the TKI era in the United States are at an increased risk of developing a second malignancy. The increased risk of SCs in the early period after CML diagnosis suggests that the risk of SCs may be increased due to the factors other than TKIs treatment.
