Efficacy of a treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia
Answer these questions using the graph

1. What kind of Graph is this?
2. What is constant in this experiment?
3. What is the dependent variable in this experiment?
4. What does the dotted line represent? Cite the text from the article, but also put it in your own words/explain what it means.
5. Describe the overall trend of all the lines (data points) as a whole.
6. Discuss the overall health (in terms of leukemia) at time 0 for all the patients as a whole.
7. Considering the values on the X-axis, which date (30, 60, 90, 120, or 150) seems to be the "turning point" for most patients? Explain your reasoning.
8. Considering the information on the graph, what could you claim about white blood cell counts in regard to the drug?
9. How many TOTAL patients were given the drug?
10. Why does the graph only show six patients? What would be the problem with all the patients?
11. If the authors only showed one patient- say, patient "green," what would be the problem there?
12. Consider the graph at each date marker: 0, 30, 60, 90, 120. For each date, discuss the range of patient data within that block (see example).
0 days: most are in the same range. One patient has extremely high WBCs (purple line).
30:
60:
90:
120:
13. Imagine that you're a doctor learning about this drug; you're reading this paper and analyzing the results from the six shown patients. What other information would be good to know before prescribing this drug?
