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

Background: Flumatinib is a novel second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (2G-TKI), which was approved in November 2019 in China. A previous phase III study evaluated the efficacy and safety of flumatinib as a first-line therapy for patients with chronic phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML-CP). However, randomized trials comparing flumatinib with other 2G-TKIs remain lacking. Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of flumatinib versus nilotinib as a first-line treatment for CML-CP. Design: A multicenter retrospective study. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 101 and 64 patients treated with flumatinib and nilotinib during the same period, respectively. Results: Patients in the flumatinib group were significantly older than patients in the nilotinib group (median age, 44 vs 37 years; Conclusion: Flumatinib is a suitable alternative as a first-line treatment for patients with CML-CP to achieve a fast MMR with better tolerability.
