[Long- term outcome of thalidomide and cyclosporine in patients with IPSS low/intermediate- 1 myelodysplastic syndromes].

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
objectiveTo investigate the long- term outcome of cyclosporin A (CsA) combined with thalidomide regime for Chinese patients with IPSS low/intermediate- 1 myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) without del（5q）and the predictive variables which could impact the response to the therapy.
methodsSeventy-six MDS patients who were treated with these drugs at a single institute in China were retrospectively analyzed. The polymorphism of cereblon gene, rs1672753, was detected in patients of this cohort by PCR and direct sequencing.
resultsA total of 53% of patients showed hematological improvement（HI）to the therapy. Thirty-one patients（31/73, 43%）achieved erythrocyte response（HI-E）; 15 patients（15/50, 30%）achieved neutrophil response（HI-N); 18 patients（18/58, 31%）achieved platelet response（HI-P). Twenty-seven of the 50 patients（46%）who were dependent on red blood cell transfusion achieved HI- E and became independent of transfusion. The median duration of response among the responders was 22 months (range, 1- 131 + months). Bone marrow blasts ≤2% was the only factor associated with longer response duration in univariate analysis （P=0.010）. There was no significant difference between the two groups of celeblon gene rs1672753 polymorphism either on the response rate or the response duration. The median survival of 67 patients without stem cell transplantation was 82 months. In multivariate analyses, factors significantly correlated with survival were IPSS-R（HR=3.461, 95%CI 1.126-10.639, P=0.030), age ≥ 60 y（HR=4.120, 95%CI 1.070-15.867, P=0.040）and HI-N（HR=7.733, 95%CI 1.007-59.396, P=0.049).
conclusionCsA combined with thalidomide regime could improve the anemia symptom in low/int-1 risk MDS patients without del（5q）. The predictive value of cereblon gene polymorphism, rs1672753, could not be verified in this study.
