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.

Abstract

introductionThis post hoc analysis investigated the efficacy and safety of momelotinib in the Asian subpopulation of MOMENTUM (NCT04173494).

methodsPatients were randomized 2:1 to momelotinib 200 mg once daily (QD) plus danazol placebo (momelotinib group) or danazol 600 mg QD plus momelotinib placebo (danazol group) for 24 weeks (W), after which they could receive open-label momelotinib or danazol. PRIMARY ENDPOINT: W24 total symptom score (TSS) response rate (≥ 50% reduction from baseline). W24 key secondary endpoints: transfusion independence rate; mean TSS change from baseline; splenic response rate; rate of zero transfusions.

resultsSeventeen Asian patients with myelofibrosis were included (momelotinib: n = 11; danazol: n = 6). TSS response rate at W24 was 36.4% with momelotinib and 0% with danazol. Secondary endpoints favored momelotinib and were consistent with the intention-to-treat population. Grade ≥ 3 treatment-emergent adverse events were reported in 36.4 and 66.7% of the momelotinib and danazol groups, respectively, including one grade ≥ 3 anemia in the momelotinib group. Treatment interruption and/or dose reduction occurred in 18.2 and 16.7% of the momelotinib and danazol groups, respectively. Two danazol-treated patients discontinued study treatment.

conclusionIn the Asian subpopulation of MOMENTUM, momelotinib improved myelofibrosis-associated symptoms, anemia measures, and spleen response, with generally favorable safety versus danazol.
