Longitudinal analysis of usage and public awareness of tyrosine kinase inhibitors for CML.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: The treatment landscape of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has evolved with the introduction of second- and third-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), oCering potential advantages over imatinib. We analyzed prescription trends and public awareness of TKIs to assess the adoption of newer agents. Methods: Monthly US prescription data from the IQVIA National Prescription Audit (NPA) and Google Trends search volumes from March 1, 2017, to November 31, 2024, were analyzed for visual and quantitative trends and correlation patterns. Studied TKIs included imatinib (first generation), dasatinib, bosutinib, nilotinib (second generation), and ponatinib, asciminib (third generation). Results: Second-generation TKIs increased by 14.4% (15,171 to 17,363 average monthly prescriptions) between 2017 and 2024, while the use of imatinib declined (-10.0%, from 18,704 to 16,835). Bosutinib (+144.1%) and dasatinib (+27.8%) usage increased during this period, while nilotinib prescriptions decreased (-26.0%). Third-generation TKIs saw substantial growth (696 to 2,123 average monthly prescriptions), led by ponatinib (+86.6%) and asciminib (+235.0% since 2022). Online search volumes strongly correlated with prescription trends, particularly for newer TKIs: asciminib (r = 0.85), bosutinib (r = 0.74), nilotinib (r = 0.74), ponatinib (r = 0.63), and dasatinib (r = 0.51). Imatinib showed little correlation (r = 0.21). Prescription patterns varied across disciplines, with Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) prescribing imatinib 9% less frequently than internists/primary care physicians (PCPs). Discussion: These data highlight a shift toward newer TKIs in CML treatment, mirroring guideline recommendations and rising public awareness. Online search trends complement traditional prescription monitoring, oCering near real-time insights into evolving prescribing practices and drug adoption.
