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

Promyelocytic blast crisis (BC) of CML is an extremely rare event, with only seven cases described as arising during therapy with TKIs. We present a 68-year-old male who developed promyelocytic blast crisis 12 months after CML diagnosis and start of Imatinib therapy, confirmed by the concomitant presence of the t(15;17) and t(9;22) translocations in the leukemic cells. Molecular remission for the PML-RARA clone was achieved with standard acute promyelocytic leukemia induction therapy with ATRA and idarubicin. However, BCR-ABL showed resistance to first-line Dasatinib and second-line Ponatinib, principally due to the presence of multiple mutations in ABL1 kinase domain, including T315I. Hematological and molecular response was achieved with Asciminib, a first‐in‐class STAMP (Specifically Targeting the ABL Myristoyl Pocket) inhibitor in combination with pulsed ATRA as post-remission strategy. Of the 7 cases of promyelocytic BC reported in the era of TKI therapy for CML, this is the first case effectively treated with Asciminib therapy.
