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

BACKGROUND/

aimFOLFIRINOX (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan, oxaliplatin) and gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel therapy have recently been introduced for the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer. Herein, overall treatment outcomes of metastatic pancreatic cancer after introduction of FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel therapy were evaluated, in daily practice. PATIENTS AND

methodsMetastatic pancreatic cancer patients (n=321) who started systemic chemotherapy between January 2011 and December 2016 were included and were divided into two groups: group A (2011-2013) and group B (2014-2016). Treatment outcomes were evaluated retrospectively.

resultsPatient characteristics were similar between the two groups except for the rates of distant lymph node metastasis and peritoneal metastasis. The preferred regimens in groups A and B were gemcitabine monotherapy and gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel therapy, respectively. The response rates, median progression-free survival, and median overall survival of groups A and B were 7.8% and 28.4% (p<0.01), 3.1 months and 5.4 months (p<0.01), and 6.7 months and 10.2 months (p<0.01), respectively.

conclusionOverall treatment outcomes for metastatic pancreatic cancer were significantly improved after introduction of FOLFIRINOX and gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel combination therapy in daily practice.
