Clinical impact of amrubicin monotherapy in patients with relapsed small cell lung cancer: a multicenter retrospective study.
Article in Translational lung cancer research, 2022. 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: Topoisomerase is an essential enzyme for deoxyribonucleic acid replication, and its inhibitors suppress tumor progression. Amrubicin, a topoisomerase II inhibitor, is mainly used in the second-line treatment of patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC). However, the impact of different types of topoisomerase inhibitors for first-line chemotherapy on the efficacy of amrubicin remains unclear. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of second-line amrubicin in patients with relapsed SCLC who were previously treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, including topoisomerase I and II inhibitors. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed patients with ES-SCLC who experienced recurrence and were treated with amrubicin at 22 institutions in Japan between April 2015 and November 2020. The progression-free survival of amrubicin monotherapy was investigated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: A total of 320 patients were enrolled in this study, with 59 (18%) receiving platinum plus topoisomerase I inhibitor irinotecan and 261 (82%) receiving platinum plus topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide as first-line treatment. The progression-free survival of amrubicin was significantly longer in the irinotecan group than in the etoposide group (3.2 Conclusions: These results showed that different types of topoisomerase inhibitors could affect the efficacy of amrubicin monotherapy in the second-line treatment of patients with relapsed ES-SCLC.
