Experience with lenalidomide in an Austrian non-study population with advanced myelofibrosis.
Observational study in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Current literature provides conflicting evidence regarding the efficacy of lenalidomide in patients with myelofibrosis (MF). The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficacy of lenalidomide in patients with MF treated within a named patient program in Austria. A total of 22 patients with MF were treated with lenalidomide in 7 different centres throughout Austria. Median age of patients was 68 years. Primary MF was present in 13 patients. Eight patients had post-polycythemia vera (post-PV) and 1 post-essential thrombocythemia (post-ET) MF. According to the Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS), all patients were scored within the intermediate-2 or high-risk group. Approximately one-third of patients were treated with 2 or more prior therapies. The overall response rate according to International Working Group (IWG) criteria was 12.5 %. Efficacy of lenalidomide was moderate in this non-study patient population. Limiting factors seemed to be stage of disease and risk profile of patients included in this analysis.
