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

purposeTo systematically investigate the efficacy and safety of the combination of FOLFOX (oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin) regimen and cocultured dendritic cells and cytokine-induced killer cells (DC-CIK) immunotherapy for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC).

methodsPublications reporting the clinical trials' responses or safety of FOLFOX regimen combined with DC-CIK immunotherapy in treating CRC patients were searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Internet, and Wanfang databases. Trials meeting the selection criteria were analyzed. The overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), tumor markers, immune function, and adverse events were evaluated.

resultsTen trials including 881 CRC patients were analyzed in this meta-analysis. The combined therapy showed advantages over FOLFOX treatment-alone in 2-year OS (odds ratio [OR] =2.77, confidence interval [CI] =1.58-4.86,

conclusionThe combination of FOLFOX regimen and DC-CIK immunotherapy was safe and effective for CRC patients.
