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

Prognosis in children with refractory and relapsed high-risk neuroblastoma is poor. Only a minority of patients obtain remission when treated with second-line chemotherapy regimens. Chemotherapy combined with anti-GD2 antibodies has previously been shown to increase response and survival rates. We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 25 patients with relapsed or refractory high-risk neuroblastoma who were treated with irinotecan/temozolomide chemotherapy in combination with the anti-GD2 antibody dinutuximab beta. The therapy resulted in an objective response rate of 64%, with 32% of patients achieving a complete response. Response to treatment was observed in patients with refractory disease (n=5) and those with first (n=12) or consecutive (n=8) relapses, including patients with progressing disease. In four patients, best response was achieved after more than 5 cycles, suggesting that some patients may benefit from prolonged chemotherapy and dinutuximab beta treatment. Fourteen of our 25 patients had previously received dinutuximab beta, four of whom achieved complete response and six partial response (objective response rate 71%). The therapy was well tolerated, even in heavily pre-treated patients and those who had previously received dinutuximab beta treatment. Toxicities were comparable to those previously reported for the individual therapies, and no discontinuations due to toxicities occurred. Combination of chemotherapy with dinutuximab beta is a promising treatment option for patients with relapsed or refractory high-risk neuroblastoma and should be further explored in clinical studies.
