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.

Abstract

backgroundThere is an increasing body of evidence indicating Y90 dose thresholds for tumor response and treatment-related toxicity. These thresholds are poorly studied in resin Y90, particularly in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of prospective voxel-based dosimetry for predicting treatment response and adverse events (AEs) in patients with HCC undergoing resin-based Y90 radioembolization. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis correlative study was based on a prospective single-arm clinical trial (NCT04172714), which evaluated the efficacy of low/scout (555 MBq) activity of resin-based Y90 for treatment planning. Partition model was used with goal of tumor dose (TD) > 200 Gy and non-tumoral liver dose (NTLD) < 70 Gy for non-segmental therapies. Single compartment dose of 200 Gy was used for segmentectomies. Prescribed Y90 activity minus scout activity was administered for therapeutic Y90 followed by Y90-PET/CT. Sureplan® (MIM Software, Cleveland, OH) was used for dosimetry analysis. Treatment response was evaluated at 3 and 6 months. Receiver operating characteristic curve determined TD response threshold for objective response (OR) and complete response (CR) as well as non-tumor liver dose (NTLD) threshold that predicted AEs.

resultsN = 30 patients were treated with 33 tumors (19 segmental and 14 non-segmental). One patient died before the first imaging, and clinical follow-up was excluded from this analysis. Overall, 26 (81%) of the tumors had an OR and 23 (72%) had a CR. A mean TD of 253 Gy predicted an OR with 92% sensitivity and 83% specificity (area under the curve (AUC = 0.929, p < 0.001). A mean TD of 337 Gy predicted a CR with 83% sensitivity and 89% specificity (AUC = 0.845, p < 0.001). A mean NTLD of 81 and 87 Gy predicted grade 3 AEs with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity in the non-segmental cohort at 3- and 6-month post Y90, respectively.

conclusionIn patients with HCC undergoing resin-based Y90, there are dose response and dose toxicity thresholds directly affecting outcomes. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: NCT04172714.
