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

purposeDevelopment of new treatment strategies for endometrial cancer that has become refractory or resistant to taxane/platinum is a critical need. The present study was a phase I/II study of gemcitabine, levofolinate, irinotecan, and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (GLIF) combination chemotherapy to determine optimal dosages, safety, and efficacy.

methodsTaxane/platinum-resistant or -refractory endometrial disease was defined as tumor progression within 6 months after a taxane/platinum-based regimen. Maximum tolerated dose was investigated by a 3 + 3-designed phase I study. The phase II study was conducted using the recommended doses determined in the phase I study.

resultsThe dosages recommended for the phase II trial were determined, in the phase I trial, to be: gemcitabine 800 mg/m

conclusionWe found that GLIF combination chemotherapy is potentially a useful treatment option for endometrial cancers refractory or resistant to taxane/platinum-based chemotherapy.
