Change of right ventricular systolic pressure can indicate dasatinib-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension in chronic myeloid leukemia.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
backgroundWe investigated the feasibility of the clinical application of non-invasive transthoracic echocardiography for diagnosis of pulmonary arterial hypertension induced by dasatinib (D-PAH) in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
methodsA total of 451 CML patients who were examined by 2D-echocardiography at least once at baseline and/or during dasatinib therapy as frontline (n = 196) and subsequent line (n = 255) therapies were included in this study. D-PAH was defined as right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) >40 mm Hg with relevant symptoms and the absence of other specific etiologies.
resultsA total of 847 echocardiographies were performed including at baseline (n = 255) and during dasatinib treatment (n = 592). During the median of 36.2 (0.1-181.8) months of dasatinib therapy, the level of RVSP gradually increased (Spearman's r = 0.2819, p < 0.001) and the mean RVSP was significantly increased after taking dasatinib therapy compared with baseline. During dasatinib therapy, 56 (12.4%) patients had RVSP >40 mm Hg without (asymptomatic, n = 27, 48.2%) or with symptoms (D-PAH, n = 29, 51.8%). All asymptomatic patients maintained dasatinib therapy without further symptoms and the D-PAH patients ultimately switched to other tyrosine kinase inhibitors. After dasatinib discontinuation, 13 (45%) and 15 (52%) patients showed RVSP normalization and gradual decrease, respectively.
conclusionsOur large cohort study demonstrated that the gradual increment of RVSP might be induced by dasatinib and non-invasive echocardiography can be fast way for early diagnosis as well as for monitoring of D-PAH.
