Multicenter Randomized Open-Label Phase II Clinical Study Comparing Outcomes of NK105 and Paclitaxel in Advanced or Recurrent Breast Cancer.
Trial report in International journal of nanomedicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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: NK105 is a paclitaxel (PTX)-incorporating "core-shell-type" polymeric micellar nanoparticle formulation composed of block copolymers (polyethylene glycol and a polyamino acid). The efficacy and safety of NK105 and paclitaxel in advanced or recurrent breast cancer have never been compared at equivalent dose levels. Patients and Methods: Patients were randomly assigned to either NK105 or PTX in a 1:1 ratio. The study drug was administered on Day 1, 8, and 15 of a 28-day cycle with 80 mg/m Results: A total of 123 patients (NK105, n=62; PTX, n=61) received one of the two drugs. There was no significant difference in ORR, the median PFS, or OS (NK105 group: 41.9%, 9.1, and 27.5 months, respectively; PTX group: 45.9%, 7.8, and 32.4 months, respectively). Neutropenia occurred more frequently in the NK105 group, but most patients did not require granulocyte-colony stimulating factor or dose-reduction. The median time to onset of peripheral sensory neuropathy (PSN) in the NK105 group was significantly longer than that in the PTX group (p=0.001), and PSN (≥ grade 3) was not observed in the NK105 group. Conclusion: Weekly NK105 administration was well-tolerated. Efficacy was similar in both groups. The PSN profile was better in the NK105 group.
