Real-world treatment and outcomes of patients with metastatic BRAF mutant colorectal cancer.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundBRAF mutation occurs in 5%-10% of metastatic colorectal cancers (mCRCs). Patients with BRAF mutant mCRC exhibit a specific metastatic pattern and poor prognosis. Survival outcomes are heterogeneous in cases of mCRC with a BRAF mutation. The optimal first-line therapy is still controversial.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with mCRC between June 2010 and December 2021. Clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment and BRAF mutation testing results were collected. Patients with a BRAF mutation were included. Kaplan-Meier methods and log-rank tests were used to analyze and compare survival. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to establish the predictive nomogram model.
resultsOf the 4475 mCRC, 261 have a BRAF mutation, including 240 V600E and 21 non-V600E mutants. The median overall survival (OS) was 18.2 months in the BRAF V600E mutant group versus 38.0 months in the non-V600E mutant group (p = 0.022). ECOG score, tumor differentiation, liver metastasis, bone metastasis and primary tumor resection were independent prognostic factors for the OS of BRAF V600E mutant mCRC. A nomogram model was established using these factors. The median OS was 39.3 m, 18.2 m and 10.7 m for the low-risk, intermediate-risk and high-risk groups defined by this model, respectively (p < 0.0001). Patients who received first-line triplet chemotherapy ± bevacizumab had comparable progression free survival (PFS) and OS compared with those treated with doublets ± bevacizumab.
conclusionBRAF V600E mutant mCRCs exhibit unfavorable and heterogeneous prognosis. The first-line intensive chemotherapy did not confer a marked impact on the PFS and OS.
