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

backgroundPatients harbouring the UGT1A1*28/*28 genotype are at risk of severe toxicity with the standard irinotecan dose. However, this dose is considerably lower than the dose that can be tolerated by UGT1A1*1/*1 and *1/*28 patients. This randomised phase II trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of the FOLFIRI regimen with high-dose irinotecan (HD-FOLFIRI) in metastatic colorectal cancer patients.

methodsEighty-two patients with the UGT1A1*1/*1 or the *1/*28 genotype were randomised to receive HD-FOLFIRI versus FOLFIRI. Patients with the UGT1A1*28/*28 genotype were excluded. In the experimental group, the irinotecan dose was 300 mg/m

resultsThe ORR was significantly higher in the HD-FOLFIRI group (67.5 versus 43.6%; p = 0.001 OR: 1.73 [95% CI:1.03-2.93]). Neutropenia (17.7%), diarrhoea (5.1%), and asthenia (5.1%) were the most common grade 3-4 toxicity. No differences were observed in severe toxicity (22.5% versus 20.5%), dose reduction (22.5% versus 28.2%), or prophylactic G-CSF (17.5% versus 12.8%). No difference in survival was found.

conclusionsPatients with the UGT1A1*1/*1 and *1/*28 genotypes can receive high doses of irinotecan to achieve a more favourable ORR without significant adverse events.
