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

objectivesTaking advantage of its food-dependent bioavailability, the present study investigated the effect of a reduced dose taken with real-life meals on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of nilotinib in chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) patients.

methodsNilotinib was taken fasted (300 mg BID, days 1-4) or with real-life meals (200 mg BID, days 5-11). Rich sampling (days 1, 3, 8, 11) allowed for non-compartmental PK analysis. Nilotinib exposure (AUC

resultsFifteen patients aged 40-74 years participated. Nilotinib PK following 200 mg BID taken with a meal strongly resembled that of 300 mg BID taken fasted (C

conclusionWith support of therapeutic drug monitoring, the use of a reduced 200 mg nilotinib dose with real-life meals seems feasible and safe. Future (confirmatory) studies should further explore the usefulness of nilotinib dosing together with food, including the relationship with treatment efficacy as well as long-term effects on quality of life.
