Efficacy and safety of regorafenib in Japanese patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors.
Article in International journal of clinical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundRegorafenib is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor that has been established as third-line treatment for patients after the failure of imatinib and sunitinib. However, since clinical data of regorafenib in the Japanese population are still lacking, the management of regorafenib is mainly based on the clinical experience of each oncologist. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of regorafenib in a Japanese population.
methodsThirty-three patients treated with regorafenib for metastatic and recurrent gastrointestinal stromal tumors were retrospectively enrolled. This study investigated the anti-tumor effect, including overall survival, progression-free survival, and safety, which was evaluated based on the incidence of adverse events.
resultsThe median overall survival of patients treated with regorafenib was 23.8 months and the 1-year overall survival rate was 80.0%, the median progression-free survival was 7.1 months and the 1-year progression-free survival rate was 40.2%. The responses to regorafenib were partial response in 3 cases (9.1%), stable disease in 17 (51.5%), progressive disease in 10 (30.3%), and non-evaluable in 3 (9.1%). The disease control rate was 54.0%. Treatment-related adverse events were reported in all patients, with the most common being hand-foot syndrome (72.7%), followed by liver damage (36.4%) and diarrhea (27.3%), and six patients (20.0%) were discontinued due to adverse events.
conclusionThis is the first report of Japanese patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors treated with regorafenib. Regorafenib showed efficacy and a manageable safety profile in Japanese patients with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors, which was comparable with previous studies.
