Review in Clinical colorectal cancer, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS-102) is a new oral combination therapy approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who are refractory to or intolerant of standard chemotherapy. This agent consists of a thymidine-based nucleoside analogue (trifluridine) and a thymidine phosphorylase inhibitor (tipiracil), which is included to reduce the degradative breakdown of trifluridine. In the phase III Randomized, double-blind, phase III Study of TAS-102 plus best supportive care [BSC] versus placebo plus BSC in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer [CRC] refractory to standard chemotherapies (RECOURSE) trial, trifluridine/tipiracil showed significant improvement in overall survival compared with placebo. Trifluridine/tipiracil is administered at a 35 mg/m
