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

The global incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients receiving hemodialysis is steadily rising. However, current information on the clinical use of chemotherapy for patients undergoing hemodialysis with CRC is limited. Herein, we describe a clinical course of a 74-year-old patient undergoing hemodialysis with unresectable CRC treated with folinic acid, 5-fluorouracil (5FU), and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) plus bevacizumab whose changes in serum bevacizumab concentration were analyzed. Treatment was initiated with a standard dosage of 5-FU and 80% of the standard dose of irinotecan to avoid any adverse events. However, neutropenia (grade 4) was observed after five treatment cycles, which prompted a dose reduction of 5-FU and irinotecan, after which treatment was safely completed. Progression-free survival of the patient was 7.5 months. Changes in serum bevacizumab concentration were similar to those documented in patients with normal renal function. In addition, no bevacizumab-related adverse events occurred. It was inferred that FOLFIRI plus bevacizumab therapy could be implemented as a safe and efficient treatment for patients undergoing hemodialysis with unresectable CRC. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the analysis of serum bevacizumab concentrations in a patient undergoing hemodialysis with unresectable CRC.
