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

purposeThis study assessed the efficacy and safety of linifanib in patients with advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who were previously treated with sunitinib. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis open-label, multicentre, phase 2 trial of oral linifanib 0.25 mg/kg/day enrolled patients who had prior nephrectomy and adequate organ function. The primary end-point was objective response rate (ORR) per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) by central imaging. Secondary end-points were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and time to progression (TTP). Safety was also assessed.

resultsFifty-three patients, median age 61 years (range 40-80) were enrolled (August 2007 to October 2008) across 12 North-American centres. Median number of prior therapies was 2 (range 1-4); 43 patients (81%) had clear-cell histology. ORR was 13.2%, median PFS was 5.4 months (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 3.6, 6.0) and TTP was the same; median OS was 14.5 months (95% CI: 10.8, 24.1). The most common treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were diarrhoea (74%), fatigue (74%) and hypertension (66%), and the most common treatment-related Grade 3/4 AE was hypertension (40%).

conclusionsLinifanib demonstrated clinically meaningful activity in patients with advanced RCC after sunitinib failure. At 0.25 mg/kg/day, significant dose modifications were required. An alternative, fixed-dosing strategy is being evaluated in other trials.
