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

summaryWe verified the possibility of collecting large amounts of peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) to support three courses of adjuvant high-dose dense chemotherapy (HDDC) with high-dose epirubicin, preceded by dexrazoxane, and high-dose paclitaxel, in patients with high-risk breast cancer (>/=9 positive nodes). The mobilizing regimen consisted of high-dose epirubicin 150 mg/m(2), preceded by dexrazoxane 1000 mg/m(2) (day 1), given in combination with paclitaxel 175 mg/m(2) (day 2), plus filgrastim. Of the 25 patients enrolled, one went off study due to a severe hypersensitivity reaction to paclitaxel, another did not undergo leukapheresis due to fever persistent after hematological recovery, while in 23 patients an adequate number of PBSCs was collected by a single leukapheresis. The median number of CD34+, CD34+/CD33-, and CD34+/CD38- cells collected per patient was 17 x 10(6)/kg, 13.4 x 10(6)/kg, and 1.5 x 10(6)/kg, respectively. Neutropenia was the only grade 4 toxicity and lasted a median of 3 days. High-dose epirubicin, preceded by dexrazoxane for the first time used in mobilizing regimen, and paclitaxel plus filgrastim are effective in releasing large amounts of PBSCs, which can then be safely employed to support multiple courses of HDDC.
