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 (Votrient(®)) is an orally administered multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is approved in the EU, the US and other countries for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. Pazopanib predominantly inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1, -2 and -3, platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α and -β, and the stem cell factor receptor c-Kit, resulting in inhibition of tumour angiogenesis, cell growth and survival. In randomized controlled trials in patients with advanced, predominantly clear-cell, renal cell carcinoma, progression-free survival (PFS) and the objective response rate were significantly greater in pazopanib recipients than in placebo recipients (VEG105192 trial), and pazopanib was noninferior to sunitinib with respect to PFS (COMPARZ study). In a patient-preference, crossover study involving 10 weeks of treatment with each drug (PISCES study), significantly more patients expressed a preference for pazopanib than for sunitinib, with their preference being based primarily on tolerability and quality-of-life issues. Health-related quality-of-life (HR-QOL) assessments generally favoured pazopanib over sunitinib in COMPARZ, and pazopanib did not cause deterioration in HR-QOL compared with placebo in VEG105192. Pazopanib caused less myelosuppression, hand-foot syndrome, mucositis/stomatitis, dysgeusia and fatigue than sunitinib, but more abnormal liver function tests. Therefore, pazopanib was noninferior to sunitinib with respect to efficacy in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma, but had a differentiated tolerability profile, which affected HR-QOL and patient preference.
