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

Overall survival in a phase III study for metastatic pancreatic cancer has significantly improved with gemcitabine (GEM) plus nab-paclitaxel. However, to date, there is limited data on the efficacy and safety of its use for patients with locally advanced (LA) or borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC). Here, we investigated the efficacy and safety of first-line GEM plus nab-paclitaxel for LA or BRPC. We retrospectively analysed consecutive patients with pathologically confirmed, untreated LA or BRPC who started receiving first-line GEM plus nab-paclitaxel. A total of 30 patients (LA, n = 22; BRPC, n = 8) were analysed. Twelve patients (40%) without distant metastasis received additional chemoradiotherapy using S-1. Laparotomy was performed on 8 patients and 6 (20%; LA, n = 3; BR, n = 3) achieved R0 resection. Objective response rate was 44.8%. For all patients, median progression-free survival and overall survival were 14.8 and 29.9 months, respectively. Median overall survival for LA was 24.1 months with a 2-year survival rate of 50.8%. The most frequently observed grade 3 or 4 toxicities were neutropenia (73%) and biliary infection (13%). First-line GEM plus nab-paclitaxel was well-tolerated and feasible with an encouraging survival for LA or BRPC.
