South African study of blast phase chronic myeloid leukaemia: A poor prognostic outlook.
Article in African journal of laboratory medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is a haematological malignancy characterised by the translocation t(9;22)(q34;q11.2), resulting in a constitutively active tyrosine kinase. Globally, overall survival of blast crisis phase (BC) CML is one year. Newer tyrosine kinase inhibitors and allogeneic stem cell transplantation offer remission; however, refractory and relapsed disease remain the biggest challenges. Objective: In South Africa, literature is lacking on BC-CML. This study aimed to determine the disease characteristics and overall survival in South Africa. Methods: This retrospective, laboratory-based study reviewed all new BC-CML diagnoses via flow cytometry at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa, between April 2016 and October 2019. BC-CML was defined as the presence of > 20% blasts with a CML history or the Results: Twenty-two new cases of BC-CML were diagnosed (median age: 34 years). There were 20 (91%) cases with the fusion transcripts p210 and two (9%) cases with p190 Conclusion: Optimised management of early-stage CML, prevention and aggressive management of sepsis, with advocation for newer therapies are needed to improve the overall survival of BC-CML in South Africa.
