Retrospective Study of Cisplatin/Carboplatin, 5-Fluorouracil Plus Cetuximab (EXTREME) for Advanced-stage Salivary Gland Cancer.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimSurgery remains the standard treatment for salivary gland carcinoma (SGC). Our study investigated the association between epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) status in recurrent/metastatic SGC and the effectiveness of treatment with cisplatin/carboplatin and 5-fluorouracil plus cetuximab (EXTREME). PATIENTS AND
methodsWe retrospectively collected 19 SGCs from patients treated with the EXTREME regimen. After analyzing EGFR expression and gene copy number gain, we evaluated the correlation between EGFR status and clinicopathological factors and prognosis.
resultsEGFR overexpression was detected in 77.8% cases, but not statistically associated with clinicopathological factors or prognosis. EGFR gene copy number gain was detected in 16.7% cases, and statistically positively correlated with lymph node metastasis (p=0.0291). The best overall response was partial response in two cases, stable disease in 15, and progressive disease in one case. The EXTREME regimen was discontinued in all cases.
conclusionOur results suggest that SGCs are positive for EGFR protein expression but the response rate to the EXTREME regimen was unremarkable.
