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

A 52-year-old man with chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) who had been receiving dasatinib 100 mg/day for 13 years presented with progressive dyspnea. Chest radiography revealed bilateral pleural effusions, and further evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of chylothorax. Dasatinib-induced chylothorax was suspected, and discontinuation of the drug led to clinical improvement. Dasatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) used for the treatment of CML and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (Ph + ALL). Although pleural effusion is a relatively common adverse effect, chylothorax is an extremely rare complication. This case highlights the importance of considering chylothorax as a potential cause of pleural effusion in patients undergoing long-term dasatinib therapy. In addition, based on the presumed pathophysiological mechanism, drug discontinuation appears to be the most crucial therapeutic approach for dasatinib-induced chylothorax.
