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

Mathematical models of tumor dynamics generally omit information on individual target lesions (iTLs), and consider the most important variable to be the sum of tumor sizes (TS). However, differences in lesion dynamics might be predictive of tumor progression. To exploit this information, we have developed a novel and flexible approach for the non-parametric analysis of iTLs, which integrates knowledge from signal processing and machine learning. We called this new methodology ClassIfication Clustering of Individual Lesions (CICIL). We used CICIL to assess similarities among the TS dynamics of 3,223 iTLs measured in 1,056 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer treated with cetuximab combined with irinotecan, in two phase II studies. We mainly observed similar dynamics among lesions within the same tumor site classification. In contrast, lesions in anatomic locations with different features showed different dynamics in about 35% of patients. The CICIL methodology has also been implemented in a user-friendly and efficient Java-based framework.
