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

The aim of our analysis was to report the outcome and safety of patients treated with bevacizumab and paclitaxel as first-line treatment for HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Between February 2009 and August 2011, 62 consecutive patients received paclitaxel 90 mg/m(2) on days 1, 8, and 15 and bevacizumab (BV) 10 mg/kg intravenously on days 1 and 15, every 28-day cycle. After 6 cycles of combined treatment, patients were given maintenance BV every 3 weeks (15 mg/kg) until progression disease or unacceptable toxicity. At time of analysis, median overall survival was 12.3 months (range 4.6-44.8 months), progression-free survival was 8.1 months (range 2.3-33.2 months), and time to treatment failure was 8.4 months (range 2.3-33.2 months). Our results confirmed the efficacy and the acceptable toxicity profile of bevacizumab plus paclitaxel as first-line regimen for metastatic breast cancer.
