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

Intra-arterial chemotherapy in patients with liver metastases from colorectal cancer has some limitations such as hepatic toxicity and extra-hepatic progression. With the aim of overcoming these limitations, a phase II trial was designed to assess the efficacy and tolerability of a hybrid chemotherapy regimen with systemic infusion of oxaliplatin and folinic acid associated with intra-arterial 5-fluorouracil. Thirty-nine patients with colorectal liver metastases were recruited. The median age was 59 years, 30 patients (77%) had synchronous metastases, and half of the patients were chemo-naive. A total of 313 chemotherapy cycles were administered (median number 8). Treatment was well tolerated and hepatic toxicity negligible. Out of 34 evaluable patients an ORR of 41%. was observed. Eight patients (21%) underwent radical liver surgery. The median time to progression (TTP) was 10 months (range 2-63) and the median overall survival (OS) 21 months (range 6-63). Extra-hepatic progression was observed in six patients. Our results suggest that this regimen is active even if technical complications are frequent. Our aim to reduce hepatic toxicity and extra-hepatic progression was reached.
