Article in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01006096 (Phase II Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Two-arm Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Erlotinib in the Treatment of Moderate to Severe Psoriasis), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 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.

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.

Abstract

Cetuximab, a monoclonal antibody directed against the epidermal growth factor receptor, has activity against colorectal cancer. Treatment is associated with skin toxicity, and the safety of cetuximab in patients with psoriasis is unknown. We report the case of a male patient with stage iv colorectal cancer (crc) and a life-long history of extensive psoriasis. This patient experienced a durable remission of his crc and major improvement of his psoriasis during single-agent treatment with cetuximab. We conclude that, despite its known skin toxicity, cetuximab treatment can be offered to colorectal patients suffering from psoriasis.
