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

The Pediatric Preclinical Testing Program (PPTP) previously reported the activity of the EZH2 inhibitor tazemetostat (EPZ6438) against xenograft models of rhabdoid tumors. Here, we determined whether an inhibitor of EZH2 enhanced the effect of standard of care chemotherapeutic agents: irinotecan, vincristine, and cyclophosphamide. EPZ011989 significantly prolonged time to event in all the six rhabdoid models studied but did not induce tumor regression. The addition of EPZ011989 to standard of care agents significantly improved time to event in at least one model for each of the agents studied, although this effect was observed in only a minority of the combination testing experiments.
