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

purposeGastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are resistant to cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Most GIST in children are wild-type for PATIENTS AND

methodsPhase II study of vandetanib (300 mg orally once daily to patients ≥18 years, and 100 mg/m

resultsNine patients (7 female and 2 male; median age, 24 years; range, 11-52) with metastatic disease were enrolled. Three of the initial 5 adult patients developed treatment-modifying toxicities. After a protocol amendment, two adults received vandetanib at 200 mg/dose with improved tolerability. The two children (<18 years old) enrolled did not experience treatment-modifying toxicities. No partial or complete responses were observed (median number of cycles, 4; range, 2-18).

conclusionsVandetanib at a dose of 300 mg daily was not well tolerated by adults with dSDH GIST. Two of 9 patients had prolonged stable disease, but no partial or complete responses were observed, and vandetanib is thus not considered active in dSDH GIST.
