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

backgroundIt is 1 of the standard treatment options for metastasis pancreatic cancer to receive nab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m

methodsPatients with locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer treated with nab-paclitaxel (125 mg/m

resultsA total of 113 patients who received the modified regimen of 21-day nab-P/Gem chemotherapy were included. The median overall survival was 9.3 months and the median progression-free survival was 4.4 months. The objective response rate and disease control rate were 18.6% and 56.7%, respectively. The median relative dose intensity for this modified regimen was 65%. The adverse events were mild to moderate, and the most common grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events were neutropenia (21%) and leukopenia (16%).

conclusionsOur study showed that this modified regimen of 21-day nab-P/Gem for locally advanced and metastatic pancreatic cancer had comparable efficacy and tolerable toxicity. This treatment may provide a considerable option for pancreatic cancer patients who desire a modified schedule. The modified regimen of 21-day nab-P/Gem is also an option worth considering during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic for minimizing the number of visits and limiting the risk of exposure.
