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

objectivesTo examine the effect of microsatellite instability (MSI) on the outcome of fluoropyrimidine and oxaliplatin containing first-line chemotherapy in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).

methodsPatients with mCRC and treated with fluoropyrimidine/oxaliplatin first-line chemotherapy were included in our study. Demographic data, tumour characteristics, chemotherapy regimens, treatment responses and progression-free survival (PFS) were collected from medical records. The MSI analysis was performed using fluorescence-based PCR, and divided into MSI-high (MSI-H) and MSI-low (MSI-L)/microsatellite stable (MSS). Statistical analysis used Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test and multivariate Cox model.

resultsFrom 1 January 2015 to 1 May 2016, a total of 192 patients with mCRC were included in our study. Among these, 14 (7.29%) exhibited MSI-H and 178 (92.71%) were MSI-L/MSS. The objective response rate (p=0.79), disease control rate (p=0.22) and PFS (p=0.22) of fluoropyrimidine/oxaliplatin first-line chemotherapy were not significantly different between MSI-H and MSI-L/MSS tumours. But MSI-H tumours had a trend to better disease control rate (71.43% vs 54.49%) and PFS (6.50 m vs 5.40 m) than MSI-L/MSS tumours. Multivariate analysis indicated that MSI was not a predictive factor for PFS (p=0.18).

conclusionThe effect of fluoropyrimidine/oxaliplatin first-line chemotherapy was not significantly different between MSI-H and MSI-L/MSS tumours. However, MSI-H tumours tended to have better disease control rate and PFS.
