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

backgroundThe management of myelofibrosis (MF) has changed over the last several years and could have an impact on patient outcome. This study evaluates the survival of patients with MF at the authors' institution to determine whether it changed in the last decade.

methodsThis retrospective study consists of 844 patients (64% male; median age, 66 years; range, 20-90 years) who were examined between 2000 and 2020 with a new diagnosis of MF. Only patients with available marrow biopsy who had reticulin fibrosis of grade 2 or higher were included. Patients were compared by year of presentation: 2000-2010 (n = 373) and 2011-2020 (n = 471).

resultsA statistically significant improvement in median survival in the last decade was noted: from 48 months (95% CI, 42-54 months) to 63 months (95% CI, 55-71 months) (P < .001; HR, 0.78 [95% CI, 0.64-0.95]). Improved survival was observed also in patients 65 years old or older and those having intermediate 2 or high-risk Dynamic International Prognostic Scoring System (DIPSS) or DIPSS-Plus risk scores. Among 532 patients treated with MF-directed therapy, patients exposed to JAK inhibitor ruxolitinib had superior outcomes with median overall survival of 84 months (95% CI, 70-94 months).

conclusionsThe results demonstrate that survival of patients with MF has improved in the last decade. This improvement is likely due to increased disease awareness, advances in supportive care, and the development of effective treatments.
