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

objectivesSingle-agent heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) inhibition has demonstrated activity in oncogene-driven non-small cell and small cell lung cancers. SNX-5422 is an oral HSP90 inhibitor with increased activity in vitro with the addition of carboplatin and paclitaxel. Therefore, we conducted a phase 1, open-label, multicenter study to evaluate SNX-5422, carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by SNX-5422 maintenance in patients with advanced lung cancers. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn part 1 (3 + 3 dose escalation), SNX-5422 (50/75/100-mg/m

resultsTwenty-three patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC, n = 20) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC, n = 3) were enrolled. The median age was 60 years and 61% (n = 14/23) had ≥1 prior treatment regimens. The maximum tolerated dose of SNX-5422 was 100 mg/m

conclusionsThe triplet combination of SNX-5422, carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by maintenance SNX-5422 therapy was well-tolerated and showed anti-tumor activity. Cancers for which disease control on single-agent SNX-5422 maintenance was observed were enriched for oncogene-driven NSCLCs.
