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

backgroundCYT997 is a novel microtubule inhibitor and vascular-disrupting agent with marked preclinical anti-tumour activity.

methodsThis phase I dose-escalation study assessed the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of CYT997 administered by continuous intravenous infusion over 24 h every 3 weeks to patients with advanced solid tumours.

resultsThirty-one patients received CYT997 over 12 dose levels (7-358 mg m(-2)). Doses up to 202 mg m(-2) were well tolerated. Dose-limiting toxicities were observed at 269 and 358 mg m(-2), consisting of grade 3 prolonged corrected QT interval in two patients and grade 3 hypoxia and grade 4 dyspnea in one patient. All toxicities were reversible. The pharmacokinetics of CYT997 were linear over the entire dose range. Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging scans showed significant changes in tumour K(trans) values consistent with vascular disruption in 7 out of 11 evaluable patients treated at CYT997 doses of >or=65 mg m(-2). Moreover, plasma levels of von Willebrand factor and caspase-cleaved cytokeratin-18 increased post-treatment at higher dose levels. Among 22 patients evaluable for response, 18 achieved stable disease for >2 cycles.

conclusionsCYT997 was well tolerated at doses that were associated with pharmacodynamic evidence of vascular disruption in tumours.
