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

purposeNeutropenia is a major dose-limiting side effect of chemotherapy and is closely related to febrile neutropenia which mainly occurs during the first cycle. Our objectives were to establish model-based decision rules from early absolute neutrophil counts (ANC) to anticipate prolonged high grade neutropenia at cycle 1 and to prevent it through delayed granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) administration in carboplatin-treated patients.

methodsThe decision rules were built from Monte Carlo simulations performed with a previously published semi-mechanistic model describing ANC time-course in carboplatin-treated patients with or without concomitant G-CSF therapy.

resultsANC measured at day 0 (D0, baseline), D4 and D5 were good predictors of prolonged high grade neutropenia at cycle 1. Pegfilgrastim administration on D5 was as effective as the conventional pegfilgrastim administration on D1 but none avoided prolonged high grade neutropenia in all patients. Additional decision rules were thus derived, using the same ANC combination, to identify patients for whom G-CSF was beneficial. All decision rules showed good performances (sensitivity/specificity).

conclusionWe propose an innovative approach to guide oncologist in their clinical practice. The next step is to perform prospective studies to implement, validate and possibly refine the proposed decision rules.
