A phase I study to assess afatinib in combination with carboplatin or with carboplatin plus paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors.
Article in Cancer chemotherapy and pharmacology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00809133 (A Phase I Open Label Trial of Continuous Dosing With BIBW 2992 Combined With Paclitaxel and BIBW 2992 Combined With Paclitaxel and Bevacizumab, BIBW 2992 Combined With Carboplatin and BIBW 2992 Combined With Paclitaxel and Carboplatin in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumours), which is not on this map.

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.
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.

Abstract
purposeAfatinib, an irreversible ErbB family blocker, has demonstrated preclinical antitumor activity with chemotherapy.
methodsAs part of a phase I trial in patients with advanced solid tumors (NCT00809133; 3 + 3 dose-escalation design), we determined the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of afatinib with carboplatin (A/C) or with carboplatin plus paclitaxel (A/C/P). Starting doses: afatinib 20 mg/day, carboplatin AUC6 (A/C) with paclitaxel 175 mg/m
resultsThirty-eight patients received A/C (n = 12) or A/C/P (n = 26). No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were reported with A(20 mg)/C(AUC6). One patient experienced DLT in the A(40 mg)/C(AUC6) cohort (grade 3 acneiform rash); A(40 mg)/C(AUC6) was determined as the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for A/C. Two patients each had DLTs with A(20 mg/day)/C(AUC6)/P(175 mg/m
conclusionsAfatinib 40 mg/day (approved monotherapy dose) with carboplatin AUC6, and afatinib 20 mg/day with carboplatin AUC5 and paclitaxel 175 mg/m
