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

Treatment of blood malignancies and other cancer diseases has been mostly unfeasible, so far. Therefore, novel treatment regimens should be developed and the currently used ones should be further elaborated. A stable component in various cancer treatment regimens consists of vincristine, an antimitotic compound of natural origin. Despite its strong anticancer activity, mostly, it cannot be administered as monotherapy due to its unspecific action and severe side effects. However, vincristine is suitable for combination therapy. Multidrug treatment regimens including vincristine are standardly applied in the therapy of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other malignancies, in which it is combined with drugs of different mechanisms of action, mainly with DNA-interacting compounds (for example cyclophosphamide), or drugs interfering with DNA synthesis (for example methotrexate). Besides, co-administration of vincristine with monoclonal antibodies has also emerged, the typical example of which is the anti-CD20 antibody rituximab. Although in some combination anticancer therapies, vincristine has been replaced with other drugs exhibiting lesser side effects, though, in most cases, it is still irreplaceable. This is strongly evidenced by the number of active clinical trials evaluating vincristine in combination cancer therapy. Therefore, in this article, we have reviewed the most common cancer treatment regimens employing vincristine and bring an overview of current trends in the clinical development of this compound.
