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

The JAK1 and JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib has approved indications in myelofibrosis, a BCR-AB1-negative myeloproliferative neoplasm associated with progressive bone marrow fibrosis and shortened survival. In Phase III clinical studies, ruxolitinib provided rapid and durable improvement of myelofibrosis-related splenomegaly and symptoms irrespective of mutation status, and was associated with a survival advantage compared with placebo or best available therapy. Because of dose-dependent cytopenias, blood count monitoring and dose titration are important to optimize therapy. Specific precautions apply to the treatment of patients with or at risk of serious infections. Discontinuation of ruxolitinib generally leads to symptom return within 1 week. Ruxolitinib also is approved for treatment of patients with polycythemia vera who have had an inadequate response to or are intolerant of hydroxyurea.
