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

introductionRegorafenib is an oral multikinase inhibitor for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). The clinical factors that may affect adherence to regorafenib remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate adherence to regorafenib with mCRC and to identify factors that might affect adherence to regorafenib.

methodsA total of 108 consecutively enrolled Japanese patients with mCRC received regorafenib. Adherence was measured by pharmacists using pill counts and a self-reported treatment diary for patients at a pharmaceutical outpatient clinic. The median relative dose intensities of regorafenib and the factors adversely affecting adherence were retrospectively surveyed. Logistic regression analysis was then performed using patient socio-demographic factors and clinical factors.

resultsA total of 96 patients were included in the analysis. The median adherence rate was 61.7% in the first cycle. The median relative dose intensity was 57.1%. The most common reason for non-adherence was a hand-foot-skin reaction (35.6%). On multivariate analysis, increased non-adherence to regorafenib was significantly associated with sex (female) [odds ratio (OR) = 4.36; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.43-13.22, DISCUSSION: Hand-foot-skin reactions and female sex were associated with lower adherence to regorafenib. Since these factors could be associated with lower adherence to regorafenib, it would be useful to consider these factors when assessing adherence.
