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

aim of the studywas to analyze the outcome of treatment and factors predicting results of sorafenib therapy in inoperable/metastatic CD117-positive GIST patients after failure on imatinib and sunitinib. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe identified 60 consecutive patients (40 men, 20 women) with advanced inoperable/metastatic GIST after failure on at least imatinib and sunitinib treated in one sarcoma center with sorafenib at initial dose 2 × 400 mg daily in 2007-2015 (in 56 cases it was 3

resultsOne year progression-free survival (PFS; calculated from the date of the start of sorafenib to disease progression) rate was 23% and median PFS = 7.7 months. The median overall survival (OS) was 13.5 months calculated from sorafenib start (1-year OS rate = 57%) and 7 years from imatinib start. Three patients (5%) had objective partial responses to therapy, 31 patients (52%) had stabilization of disease > 4 months. Primary tumor mutational status was known in 43 cases (73%), but we have not identified the differences in PFS between tumors carrying different KIT/PDGFRA mutations. The most common adverse events were: diarrhoea, hand and foot syndrome, fatigue, loss of weight and skin reactions; grade 3-5 toxicity occurred in 35% of patients. 23 patients required sorafenib dose reductions due to AEs.

conclusionsWe confirmed that many advanced GIST patients benefit from sorafenib therapy after imatinib/sunitinib failure with OS > 1 year.
