Clinical benefit of subsequent chemotherapy after drug-induced interstitial lung disease in pancreatic cancer patients: a multicenter retrospective study from Japan.
Article in BMC cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeDrug-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) is not a rare adverse event in the current chemotherapy strategy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Thus, we aimed to find the optimal management for PDAC patients with a history of ILD induced by a gemcitabine-based regimen.
methodsWe conducted a multicenter retrospective study. The primary endpoint was the overall survival (OS) of patients who underwent either S-1 monotherapy or FOLFOX after the onset of ILD. Toxicity data was also analyzed in the 2 groups.
resultsTwenty-four patients were diagnosed with ILD and 17 patients who received subsequent chemotherapy were enrolled in the study. Among 17 patients who were managed with subsequent chemotherapy after recovering from ILD, we did not observe significant difference in OS between S-1 and FOLFOX (290.0 days vs. undefined, p = 0.39). Relapse of drug-induced ILD was not observed in all cases during the course. Overall, severe adverse events (CTCAE Grade 3 or 4) were observed in 3 patients (23.1%) in S-1 treatment group and 1 patient (25.0%) in FOLFOX treatment group (p = 0.93).
conclusionsS-1 monotherapy and FOLFOX are comparable as the subsequent chemotherapy after gemcitabine-based chemotherapy-induced ILD in unresectable PDAC.
