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

objectivesHere, we reported an interim analysis of feasibility and safety in the first 10 cases of 30 cases in a phase II trial of intravenous and intraperitoneal paclitaxel combined with S-1 for gemcitabine-refractory pancreatic cancer with malignant ascites.

methodsPaclitaxel was administered intravenously at 50 mg/m2 and intraperitoneally at 20 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks, and S-1 was administered at 80 mg/m2/day for 14 consecutive days, followed by 7-day rest.

resultsBetween April 2011 and February 2012, ten patients were enrolled. A partial response was achieved in two patients (20%) and a disease control rate of 50%. The median time to progression and overall survival were 2.1 and 3.4 months, respectively. Malignant ascites was completely resolved in two patients (20%). Major grade 3/4 adverse events were myelosuppression including neutropenia (50%) and catheter-related infection (10%).

conclusionsThis novel combination chemotherapy was feasible and showed promising results in pancreatic cancer patients with malignant ascites (clinical trial registration number: UMIN000005306).
