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.

Abstract

backgroundTo date, chemotherapy remains the only effective treatment of unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. In the past few years, the interest in immunological anticancer therapy rises sharply. AGIG is a novel chemo-immunotherapy regimen that combines nab-paclitaxel + gemcitabine chemotherapy with sequential recombinant interleukin-2 (IL-2) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) therapy. We conducted a single-arm prospective phase II study to determine the efficacy and safety of the first-line treatment of advanced pancreatic cancer with AGIG regimen.

methodsNab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m

resultsBetween 11/2018 and 01/2020, sixty-four patients were enrolled. In the sixty-four evaluable patients, the disease control rate (DCR) and overall response rate (ORR) were 76.6% and 43.75%, respectively. The median follow-up time was 12.1 (range 7.1-22.4) months. The median PFS was 5.7 (range 1.63-15.8) months. The median OS was 14.2 (range 2.9-22.0) months. The most common adverse event was fever (75%). The incidence of III/IV grade neutropenia was 4.69%. In subgroup analyses, we found that eosinophil count in the blood elevated three times higher than baseline level predicted a longer survival.

conclusionsThe AGIG chemo-immunotherapy regimen has presented favorable ORR, OS, and manageable toxicities as first-line therapeutic strategy of advanced pancreatic cancer treatment. This regimen may be a novel reliable therapeutic option for patients with preserved performance status. The improvement of treatment efficiency may be related to the activation of non-specific immune response. CLINICAL
