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

abstractThe phase 3 TRANSFORM-1 study evaluated ruxolitinib (RUX) in combination with navitoclax (NAV) or placebo (PBO) in Janus kinase inhibitor-naïve adults with intermediate-2 or high-risk myelofibrosis and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of ≤2. Patients were randomized 1:1 to NAV (200 mg/d starting dose, or 100 mg escalated to 200 mg/d) or PBO, with RUX dosed per label. The primary end point was ≥35% spleen volume reduction (SVR) at week 24 (SVR35W24). Secondary end points included change from baseline in total symptom score (TSS) at week 24 and SVR35 at any time. A total of 252 patients (NAV+RUX, n = 125; PBO+RUX, n = 127; median follow-up 20.3 months) were randomized; >80% had intermediate-2 risk, and ∼50% had high-molecular risk disease. SVR35W24 was achieved by 63.2% with NAV+RUX vs 31.5% with PBO+RUX (P< .0001). Mean change in TSS at week 24 was not significantly different between NAV+RUX and PBO+RUX (-10.2 vs -11.6; P = .2852). SVR35 at any time was achieved in 76.8% with NAV+RUX vs 44.1% with PBO+RUX (nominal P< .0001). A ≥20% variant allele frequency reduction (exploratory end point) occurred in 58.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 49.0-67.5) with NAV+RUX and 45.5% (95% CI, 36.4-54.8) with PBO+RUX. NAV+RUX showed higher hematologic toxicity vs PBO+RUX (grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia, 54.0% vs 19.2%; grade 3/4 neutropenia, 40.3% vs 8.8%); diarrhea (any grade, 41.9% vs 16.8%) was also more common. Cytopenias were generally manageable and reversible with dose adjustments. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as NCT04472598.
