Feasibility of combining temsirolimus to vincristine, dactinomycin, cyclophosphamide, and vincristine and irinotecan chemotherapy for children with intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma: A report from Children's Oncology Group.
Article in Pediatric blood & cancer, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02567435 (A Randomized Phase 3 Study of Vincristine, Dactinomycin, Cyclophosphamide), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 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.

Abstract
backgroundTemsirolimus has shown in vivo activity against rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). We aimed to determine the feasibility of incorporating temsirolimus within the standard Children's Oncology Group (COG) chemotherapy backbone of vincristine, actinomycin-D, and cyclophosphamide (VAC) alternating with vincristine and irinotecan (VI) in children with intermediate-risk (IR) RMS.
methodsThe feasibility phase of the COG IR-RMS trial, ARST1431 (NCT02567435), assigned 10 patients to receive 15 mg/m
resultsTen patients (seven males and three females; median age = 4.5 years [range: 0.2-14.4 years]) with IR-RMS were enrolled and received dose level 1 of temsirolimus. Eight patients had FOXO1-negative disease, while two had FOXO1-positive disease. Two patients had metastatic disease. Of 10 patients, two developed DLTs: grade 3 oral mucositis and pneumonitis. Four patients (40%) had grade 4 neutropenia. No treatment-related mortality occurred. The median duration of the completion of the feasibility phase was 12.1 weeks (range: 11.7-15 weeks).
conclusionsWeekly temsirolimus at 15 mg/m
