Review in Medical oncology (Northwood, London, England), 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04770623 (Docetaxel and Irinotecan Combination as a Second Line Treatment of Metastatic Gastric Cancer; a Phase II Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 13 papers.

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

backgroundThe prognosis of gastric tumor is generally poor because most tumors are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Chemotherapy has a proven palliative role in advanced gastric cancer and several combination regimens were explored in the last 10 yr. Nevertheless, none of them showed a convincing improvement resulting in an enhancement of response rate and overall survival without discrimination of the quality of life. Irinotecan (CPT11) has been evaluated in multiple trials alone or in combined therapy with promising results and good tolerance. Thus, a review of the importance and impact of CPT11 in this indication is detailed.

methodsThis article reviews the evidence for the use of CPT11 in the treatment of gastric cancer based on a computerized MEDLINE search of literature published until August 2006 leading to a total of 91 publications.

resultsCPT11 was frequently used and showed a good response rate varying from 14% to 23% as single agent and 45% to 70% in combination with a median time to progression of 3 mo in single agent and 4-6 mo in combination, and median overall survival of approx 7 mo in single agent and up to 10.58 mo in combination.

conclusionThe overall response of irinotecan-based chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer was shown to be as effective as other combined chemotherapy. The hematological and digestive toxicity were tolerable and mild, especially in weekly regimen. Thus, irinotecan-based chemotherapy should be considered as one of the preferred choices in front line chemotherapy in advanced gastric cancer.
