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

Pazopanib is a novel multikinase inhibitor that shares a similar spectrum of target receptors with sorafenib and sunitinib. We have performed a systematic analysis to investigate the risk of HFSR to pazopanib and compare the difference in incidence between sorafenib, sunitinib, and pazopanib. Relevant studies were identified from PubMed (1998-2010) and abstracts presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Conferences between 2004 and 2010. Eligible studies were limited to prospective Phase II-III clinical trials in which cancer patients were treated with pazopanib 800 mg orally once daily. Incidence, relative risk (RR), and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using random-effects or fixed-effects models based on the heterogeneity of included studies. A total of 1,163 patients from 10 prospective clinical trials were included in the analysis. The overall incidence of all-grade and high-grade HFSR was 4.5% (95% CI: 2.5-7.9%) and 1.8% (95% CI: 0.7-4.6%), respectively. The relative risks of all-grade and high-grade HFSR to pazopanib monotherapy in comparison with controls were increased for all-grade (RR = 6.09, 95% CI: 1.11-33.36, p = 0.037) and high-grade HFSR (RR = 2.51, 95% CI: 0.12-51.9, p = 0.55). The risk of all-grade and high-grade HFSR to pazopanib was significantly lower as compared to sorafenib and sunitinib (RR = 7.5, 95% CI: 5.5-10.2, p < 0.001; RR = 5.9, 95% CI: 3.5-10.0, p < 0.001 and RR = 4.2, 95% CI: 3.0-5.7, p < 0.001; RR = 3.6, 95% CI: 2.1-6.2, p < 0.001). Despite sharing the same spectrum of target receptors with sorafenib and sunitinib, pazopanib is associated with an unexpectedly low risk of HFSR. Further investigations are needed to elucidate HFSR pathogenesis.
