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.
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: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a highly controllable cancer after the introduction of BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, in real-world settings, there is limited evidence on treatment response, resistance, and survival. Objective: To measure treatment response, overall survival, and predictors of molecular response in patients with CML treated with BCR-ABL TKIs in routine clinical practice. Methodology: This was a retrospective cohort study consisting of 650 adult patients with confirmed CML who received at least one BCR-ABL TKI between January 2023 and December 2025. All demographic, clinical, treatment, and follow-up data were abstracted from the institution's medical records. Assessment was performed for hematologic, cytogenetic, and molecular responses according to standard criteria. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis, and predictors of response and survival were identified using multivariable regression models. Results: The mean age was 49.8 ± 14.2 years, and 57.8% were male. The majority of patients were seen in the chronic phase (91.1%). Complete hematologic response, complete cytogenetic response, major molecular response (MMR) and deep molecular response (DMR) were observed in 93.4, 83.4, 76.3 and 48.9% of patients, respectively. The second-generation TKIs had a significantly higher MMR rate than imatinib (82.9% vs. 71.8%, Conclusion: Excellent molecular responses and favourable survival outcomes were observed among real-world patients with CML treated with BCR-ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Molecular response remained an important prognostic indicator, supporting continued molecular monitoring and risk-adapted treatment. However, the available follow-up was insufficient to evaluate late-onset toxicities and longer-term treatment outcomes fully; therefore, extended follow-up studies with detailed molecular and genetic characterisation are warranted.
