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

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) treatment with imatinib mesylate often faces challenges due to inter-patient variability in drug response and adverse effects. Genetic polymorphisms in enzymes involved in imatinib metabolism, such as CYP2C8 and CYP3A4, may contribute to this variability. This study aimed to investigate the distribution of CYP2C8*3, CYP2C8*4, and CYP3A4*22 among CML patients and evaluate their impact on imatinib exposure and side effects. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on Palestinian CML patients receiving 400 mg daily imatinib between June 2021 and August 2022. Genetic analysis and plasma imatinib levels were determined, along with assessment of demographic and clinical parameters. Results revealed significant associations between CYP2C8*3 genotype and lower imatinib trough concentrations, while CYP2C8*4 and CYP3A4*22 variants showed no significant effects. Imatinib C
