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: Advanced-phase chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) remains associated with poor outcomes despite advances in tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy, underscoring the need for more effective treatment approaches. Objectives: This multicenter study evaluated the efficacy and safety of tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) plus azacitidine (with optional low-dose chemotherapy) in advanced-phase CML. Design: Prospective multicenter single-arm study. Methods: 41 patients with accelerated- (AP) or blast-phase (BP) CML received azacitidine 75 mg/m Results: Among 36 evaluable patients (median age 51 years; range: 24-77; AP: 13, BP: 23) after excluding 5 noncompliant patients, 63.9% achieved MaHR, with a median response time of 1.33 months. The cumulative 3-year response rates were as follows: MCyR, 48.5%; MR2.0 (BCR::ABL1 IS ≤1%), 16.3%; MMR, 21.8%; and UMD, 14.2%. Patients maintained sustainable responses during follow-up. Four hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients maintained durable remission with TKI consolidation. At 28.1-month median follow-up, median OS was not reached and median PFS was 8.17 months; estimated 3-year OS and PFS rates were 50.3% and 41.1%, respectively. Elevated baseline WBC count and BCR::ABL1 transcript levels predicted poor survival. Hematologic toxicities of grade 3 or higher occurred in 55.6% of patients, including neutropenia (36.1%), thrombocytopenia (33.3%). Conclusion: TKI-azacitidine therapy demonstrated promising efficacy and acceptable tolerability in patients with advanced-phase CML and may represent a feasible treatment option for this high-risk population.
