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

Ongoing analysis of the seminal AZA-001 study has taught many important lessons in the use of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitors. The data emphasize the importance of patience in the use of these drugs, with several cycles required for the manifestations of hematologic responses. Improved survival in patients with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) treated with azacitidine extends to patients with any International Working Group-defined hematologic response; however, the benefit to patients with stable disease is less clear. A great deal remains to be learned about the optimal dosing and scheduling of the DNMT inhibitors, alone and in combination. New information on the impact of DNMT inhibitors on the immune system and on stem cells will likely lead to novel uses of these drugs in MDS and other hematologic and nonhematologic malignancies.
