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

Primary myelofibrosis (PMF) is a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) that portends a poor prognosis and has limited options for treatment. PMF is often driven by clonal mutations in one of three genes that regulate the JAK-STAT signaling pathway, leading to hyperactivation of this signaling pathway and over-proliferation of megakaryocytes (MKs) and their precursors. PMF presents with debilitating symptoms such as splenomegaly and weight loss. The few available treatments for PMF include a JAK2 inhibitor, ruxolitinib, which causes side effects and is not always effective. The extracellular matrix (ECM) and bone marrow (BM) microenvironment may play an important role in the pathogenesis of PMF. Lysyl oxidase (LOX), an enzyme that plays a key role in the ECM by facilitating the cross-linking of collagen and elastin fibers, has been shown to be upregulated in MKs of PMF mice and in PMF patients, suggesting its role in the progression of BM fibrosis. Recently, LOX has been identified as a potential novel therapeutic target for PMF and the development of new small molecule LOX inhibitors, PXS-LOX_1 and PXS-LOX_2, has shown some promise in slowing the progression of PMF in pre-clinical studies. Given that these inhibitors displayed an ability to target the dysregulation of the ECM via LOX inhibition, they show promise as therapeutic agents for an underappreciated aspect of PMF.
