Efficacy of ruxolitinib for myelofibrosis.
Review in Expert opinion on pharmacotherapy, 2014. 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
introductionThe discovery of the activating JAK2 V617F mutation in patients with myelofibrosis (MF) led to the development of JAK2 inhibitors. The first such inhibitor to enter clinical trials was ruxolitinib . This review summarizes preclinical and clinical data of ruxolitinib in MF. AREAS COVERED: A literature search through Medline employing the terms 'ruxolitinib,' 'INCB018424' and 'myelofibrosis' was undertaken. The results from Phase I/II studies in patients with MF showed that ruxolitinib led to durable improvements in splenomegaly, and symptoms associated with MF. Two Phase III trials have compared ruxolitinib against placebo and best available therapy, and in both studies ruxolitinib demonstrated superior rates of spleen control and symptom improvement, and additional analysis demonstrated a survival benefit with ruxolitinib treatment. The main toxicities seen with ruxolitinib are cytopenias, which are managed with dose adjustments. Recent reports documented sporadic cases of immunosuppression-related infections. Ruxolitinib is the first drug ever approved for the therapy of patients with MF. EXPERT OPINION: Understanding the factors that predict the rate and duration of response to ruxolitinib would improve our ability to manage patients treated with this medication. Clinical trials combining ruxolitinib with novel compounds that are also active in MF will further improve therapy for this disease.
