Treatment-free remission after dasatinib in patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia in chronic phase with deep molecular response: Final 5-year analysis of DASFREE.
Article in British journal of haematology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01850004 (Open-Label Single Arm Phase 2 Study Evaluating Dasatinib Therapy Discontinuation In Patients With Chronic Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 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.

Abstract
Patients with chronic myeloid leukaemia in chronic phase (CML-CP) who have a sustained deep molecular response (DMR) are eligible to discontinue treatment and attempt treatment-free remission (TFR). In the DASFREE study (ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT01850004), the 2-year TFR rate after dasatinib discontinuation was 46%; here we present the 5-year update. Patients with a stable DMR after ≥2 years of dasatinib therapy discontinued treatment and were followed for 5 years. At a minimum follow-up of 60 months, in 84 patients discontinuing dasatinib, the 5-year TFR rate was 44% (n = 37). No relapses occurred after month 39 and all evaluable patients who relapsed and restarted dasatinib (n = 46) regained a major molecular response in a median of 1.9 months. The most common adverse event during the off-treatment period was arthralgia (18%, 15/84); a total of 15 withdrawal events were reported in nine patients (11%). At the 5-year final follow-up, almost half of the patients who discontinued dasatinib after a sustained DMR maintained TFR. All evaluable patients who experienced a relapse quickly regained a DMR after restarting dasatinib, demonstrating that dasatinib discontinuation is a viable and potentially long-term option in patients with CML-CP. The safety profile is consistent with the previous report.
