Real Life Data on Efficacy and Safety of Azacitidine Therapy for Myelodysplastic Syndrome, Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia and Acute Myeloid Leukemia.

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
The administration of azacitidine (AZA) was found to be more effective than conventional care regimen (CCR) in patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with lower blast count. We designed a study to determine efficacy and safety of AZA therapy in "real life" patients with MDS, CMML and AML. The study included 83 patients (65% male) with a median age at diagnosis of 68 years. 43 patients were diagnosed with higher-risk MDS, 30 had AML and 10-CMML. Median AZA dose was comparable between treated groups. AZA dose reduction was required for 44% of MDS, 17% of AML and 25% of CMML patients. Complete remission (CR) was achieved in 14% of MDS, 7% of AML and 10% of CMML patients. Overall response rate was following: 27% for MDS, 20% for AML and 20% for CMML. Estimated OS at 12 months was 75% for MDS, 60% for AML and 75% for CMML. Median follow-up for MDS/AML/CMML from AZA initiation to last follow-up was 9.0, 9.4 and 9.4 months, respectively. The most common toxicity of AZA therapy was myelosuppression and infections. AZA treatment was effective in a limited number of patients with acceptable safety profile.
