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

purposeA phase II trial was conducted to investigate the benefit of oxaliplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy in Japanese stage III colon cancer patients.

methodsEligible patients were scheduled to receive 12 cycles of mFOLFOX6 or 8 cycles of CAPOX in adjuvant settings. The primary endpoint was the 3-year disease-free survival (DFS). Cox proportional hazards regression was performed to identify risk factors for a worse DFS.

resultsA total of 130 patients, including 73 patients receiving mFOLFOX6 and 57 patients receiving CAPOX, were enrolled from 16 institutions between April 2010 and April 2014. The 3-year DFS was 82.2%, exceeding the expected primary endpoint of 81.7%. The 3-year DFS tended to be higher in patients receiving mFOLOFOX6 than in those receiving CAPOX (mFOLFOX6, 86.3%; CAPOX, 76.9%; P = 0.06). The 3-year DFS rates did not differ markedly based on the risk stratification (T1/T2/T3 N1 vs. T4 or N2) indicated by the IDEA COLLABORATION study (P = 0.22). In the multivariate analysis, stage IIIC (P = 0.046) and early discontinuation (P < 0.01) were identified as independent significant risk factors for a worse DFS.

conclusionOur findings represent the first positive results in a Japanese phase II trial of adjuvant chemotherapy with mFOLFOX6/CAPOX. Early discontinuation within 2 months was an independent risk factor for a shorter DFS.
