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

Low-dose dasatinib is safe and effective in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase (CML-CP). No randomized trials have compared the outcome with standard-dose dasatinib. This study aims to compare the outcome of patients with CML-CP treated with frontline dasatinib 50 versus 100 mg/day. We analyzed 233 patients with newly diagnosed CML-CP treated with low-dose dasatinib (N = 83) or standard-dose dasatinib (N = 150). Propensity score analysis with 1:1 matching was performed and identified 77 patients in each cohort without significant baseline differences. Response rates were reported as the cumulative incidences of complete cytogenetic response, major molecular response (MMR), molecular response (MR)4, and MR4.5. Failure-free survival (FFS), event-free survival (EFS), transformation-free survival (TFS), and overall survival (OS) were also compared. Patients on low-dose dasatinib with suboptimal response by European LeukemiaNet (ELN) 2013 criteria had the option to increase the dose to 100 mg/day. The overall median follow-up time was 60 months. The 3-year MMR rates were 92% and 84% for low-dose and standard-dose dasatinib, respectively (p = .23). Dasatinib 50 mg/day induced higher cumulative incidence of MR4 (77% vs. 66%; p = .04) and MR4.5 (77% vs. 62%; p = .02) at 3 years. The 4-year FFS, EFS and OS rates were 89% versus 77% (p = .04), 95% versus 92% (p = .06), and 97% versus 96% (p = .78) with low-dose and standard-dose dasatinib, respectively. The rate of any grade pleural effusion was 5% with dasatinib 50 mg/day compared to 21% with 100 mg/day. Dasatinib 50 mg/day is at least as effective as 100 mg/day with a better safety profile and drug exposure.
