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

We previously showed that ERCC1 19007 C>T polymorphism was associated with cancer-specific survival (CSS) after platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with advanced urothelial cancer (aUC). We aimed to confirm this association in a different cohort of patients. Genotyping of the 19007C>T polymorphism was carried out by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in 98 aUC patients, treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. Median age of the patients was 68.8, 13.3% of them were female, 90.8% had ECOG PS of 0 or 1, and 48% received cisplatin-based chemotherapy. In addition to chemotherapy, 32.7% of the patients received immunotherapy, and 19.4% vinflunine. Eighty-one patients (82.7%) were carriers of the 19007T polymorphic allele: 46 (46.9%) were heterozygotes, and 35 (35.7%) were homozygotes. The ERCC1 polymorphism was not associated with CSS, progression-free (PFS), or overall (OS) survival in the total population. Nevertheless, there was a significant interaction between the prognostic significance of ERCC1 polymorphism and the use of modern immunotherapy: the T allele was associated with worse outcome in patients who received chemotherapy only, while this association was lost in patients who received both chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Our study suggests that novel therapies may influence the significance of ERCC1 polymorphism in patients with aUC. Its determination may be useful in the changing treatment landscape of the disease.
