Tas-102 for Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Trifluridine/tipiracil (TAS-102) is an oral chemotherapy approved for the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer. The efficacy and tolerability of TAS-102 were shown in phase II-III clinical trials and in several real-life studies. The elderly and other special subgroups are underrepresented in published literature. We conducted a retrospective multicenter study to assess the effectiveness and safety of TAS-102 in consecutive patients with pretreated mCRC. In particular, we estimated the effectiveness and safety of TAS-102 in elderly patients (aged ≥70, ≥75 and ≥80 years) and in special subgroups, e.g., patients with concomitant heart disease. One hundred and sixty patients were enrolled. In particular, 71 patients (44%) were 70 years of age or older, 50 (31%) were 75 years of age or older, and 23 (14%) were 80 years of age or older. 19 patients (12%) had a concomitant chronic heart disease, three (2%) patients were HIV positive, and one (<1%) patient had a
