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: Tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have reshaped chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) outcomes, but real-world data from Eastern Europe remain scarce. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 201 adult patients with CML managed at the Cluj-Napoca Department of Haematology (January 2001-December 2024). A semi-automated pipeline utilizing a Large Language Model was developed to extract structured data from unstructured medical discharge report text, with all patient identifiers removed to ensure anonymity. We captured demographics, disease phase, line-specific TKI use, adverse events (AEs), treatment-free remission (TFR) eligibility, TFR attempts, continuation, laboratory data and discontinuation. Machine learning models were trained to predict TFR potential. Results: Patients <60 years old, 101/201 (50.2%), and ≥60 years old, 100/201 (49.8%) were nearly equal in number. 53.7% were male. At diagnosis, 94.5% were in chronic phase. First-line treatment comprised imatinib in 108/201 (53.7%), dasatinib in 56/201 (27.9%), and nilotinib in 37/201 (18.4%). Second-line therapy ( Conclusion: In this Romanian center, imatinib was the predominant front-line TKI, reflecting both its earlier availability as the sole treatment option and the durable responses achieved by many long-term patients, but second-generation agents are increasingly used in over 40% of first-line starts. TFR uptake is limited despite a sizeable eligible population. Machine learning models demonstrate that both the depth and kinetics of molecular response are critical for predicting TFR potential. Prospective optimization of molecular monitoring and discontinuation protocols may broaden TFR success.
