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

objectiveTo assess the efficacy and safety of everolimus in Japanese patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

methodsA subgroup analysis of the pivotal Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of everolimus 10 mg/day in patients with disease progression after treatment with sorafenib, sunitinib or both assessed outcomes in Japanese participants. Results were compared with those for the overall study population.

resultsThe final trial analysis included 24 Japanese patients (everolimus, n= 15; placebo, n = 9). Median progression-free survival in the Japanese subpopulation was 5.75 months (95% confidence interval, 4.90 months to not reached) with everolimus and 3.61 months (95% confidence interval, 1.91-9.03 months) with placebo (hazard ratio, 0.19; 95% confidence interval, 0.05-0.83). Median overall survival was not reached with everolimus and was 14.9 months (95% confidence interval, 11.0-16.8 months) with placebo (hazard ratio, 0.30; 95% confidence interval, 0.07-1.27). Overall, efficacy and safety were similar when comparing the Japanese and overall populations. In the Japanese subpopulation, the most common adverse events with everolimus were stomatitis, infections and rash. Four Japanese subjects (27%) developed Grade 1 (n = 2) or 2 (n = 2) pneumonitis (all reversible and allowing for continuation of therapy, after interruption, steroids and dose reduction for both Grade 2 cases), with a lower pneumonitis incidence of 14% in the overall population (albeit associated with a Grade 3 incidence of 4%).

conclusionsThese findings suggest that the demonstrated benefits of everolimus in the overall trial population are similar in Japanese patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma.
