Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Ruxolitinib: A Review.
Synthesis in Clinical pharmacokinetics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 50 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveRuxolitinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting the Janus kinase (JAK) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathways. Ruxolitinib is used to treat myelofibrosis, polycythemia vera and steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease in the setting of allogeneic stem-cell transplantation. This review describes the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ruxolitinib.
methodsPubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and web of Science were searched from the time of database inception to march 15, 2021 and was repeated on November 16, 2021. Articles not written in English, animal or in vitro studies, letters to the editor, case reports, where ruxolitinib was not used for hematological diseases or not available as full text were excluded.
resultsRuxolitinib is well absorbed, has 95% bio-availability, and is bound to albumin for 97%. Ruxolitinib pharmacokinetics can be described with a two-compartment model and linear elimination. Volume of distribution differs between men and women, likely related to bodyweight differences. Metabolism is mainly hepatic via CYP3A4 and can be altered by CYP3A4 inducers and inhibitors. The major metabolites of ruxolitinib are pharmacologically active. The main route of elimination of ruxolitinib metabolites is renal. Liver and renal dysfunction affect some of the pharmacokinetic variables and require dose reductions. Model-informed precision dosing might be a way to further optimize and individualize ruxolitinib treatment, but is not yet advised for routine care due to lack of information on target concentrations.
conclusionFurther research is needed to explain the interindividual variability of the ruxolitinib pharmacokinetic variables and to optimize individual treatment.
