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

Objective In the treatment of advanced and recurrent colorectal cancer (ARCC), FOLFOXIRI regimens have been proven to be significantly superior to FOLFIRI in terms of the progression-free survival (PFS), response rate (RR), and overall survival (OS). Furthermore, the Tribe trial showed that the RR and PFS rates in patients who received bevacizumab (Bmab) +FOLFOXIRI were superior to those in patients treated with Bmab+FOLFIRI. A phase III trial of panitumumab (Pmab) +FOLFOXIRI is currently ongoing. A modified FOLFOXIRI regimen is also widely used to reduce adverse events. In our department, we introduced modified FOLFOXIRI+α (mFOLFOXIRI+α) in 2015. The present study reviewed the efficacy and safety of mFOLFOXIRI+α. Methods Eligible patients were retrospectively reviewed, and their results were compared to those of patients treated with other regimens (OTHERS) (n=134) to demonstrate the efficacy of this treatment. Patients: Between February 2015 and November 2018, 12 patients with ARCC (male/female=6/6; average age, 60.7 years old) received mFOLFOXIRI+α (Bmab: 10, Pmab: 1, alone: 1). Results The median PFS in the mFOLFOXIRI+α and OTHERS groups was 565 and 322 days, respectively (p=0.0544). The RR in the mFOLFOXIRI+α and OTHERS groups was 66.7% and 31.3%, respectively (p=0.0135). The conversion rate (Conv R) in the mFOLFOXIRI+α and OTHERS groups was 50.0% and 12.7%, respectively (p=0.0007). While 58% of patients treated with FOLFOXIRI+α developed grade ≥3 leukopenia, the incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) was only 17%. In all patients with symptoms due to the tumor burden, the symptoms subsided with mFOLFOXIRI+α treatment. Conclusion Based on the RR, Conv R, and symptom palliation ability, mFOLFOXIRI+α was suggested to be a viable candidate for first-line treatment for patients with ARCC, especially those with a high tumor burden.
