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

backgroundCisplatin/gemcitabine is standard first-line treatment for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (ABC). NUC-1031 (phosphoramidate transformation of gemcitabine) is designed to enhance efficacy by maximizing intratumoral active metabolites.

methodsPatients with untreated ABC, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-1 received NUC-1031 (625 or 725 mg/m

resultsTwenty-one patients (median age 61 years, n = 13 male; 17 cholangiocarcinoma, 2 ampullary, and 2 gallbladder cancer) received NUC-1031 625 mg/m

conclusionThis is the first study reporting on the combination of NUC-1031 with cisplatin in ABC and demonstrated a favorable safety profile; 725 mg/m IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The prognosis for patients with advanced biliary tract cancer (ABC) is approximately 1 year, and new treatment options are required. The cisplatin/gemcitabine combination is standard first-line treatment for patients with ABC. NUC-1031 is a phosphoramidate transformation of gemcitabine and is designed to enhance efficacy by maximizing intratumoral active metabolites. This phase Ib study (ABC-08) demonstrated a favorable safety profile of NUC-1031 in combination with cisplatin for the first-line treatment of patients with ABC, and 725 mg/m
