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

introductionRegorafenib is a multikinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Despite providing a statistically significant survival benefit, a substantial number of patients fail to respond to or continue with treatment, which has resulted in an unmet clinical need for a biomarker of regorafenib efficacy.

methodsThe JACCRO CC-12 study was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm phase II trial designed to evaluate the usefulness of [

resultsTwenty patients were enrolled from November 2014 to March 2016, 17 of whom were evaluated for metabolic and morphological changes. Metabolic response with FDG-PET was partial response (PR) in one case (5.9%), stable disease (SD) in four (23.5%), and progressive disease (PD) in 12 (70.6%). The metabolic response rate was 5.9%. On CT imaging, no complete response or PR was observed, and the ORR was 0%. Median PFS and OS were 1.7 and 9.8 months, respectively. The median PFS of patients who achieved PR or SD by FDG-PET was 3.7 months, whereas that of those assessed as PD was 1 month (p = 0.13). The median OS of patients who achieved PR or SD by FDG-PET was 13.0 months, whereas that of patients assessed as PD was 10.6 months (p = 0.43). Frequent adverse events were palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia syndrome, hypertension, loss of appetite, and fatigue.

conclusionsIn this study, FDG-PET failed to demonstrate usefulness as an early imaging biomarker of regorafenib in patients with mCRC.
