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

Patients with KRAS-mutated and microsatellite-stable (MSS) metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) often have limited options in salvage-line treatment. Reasonable combination strategy may be a valuable exploration. Here, we report a patient with KRAS-mutated and MSS metastatic rectal adenocarcinoma at stage IVB. After failure of previous standard treatment, a durable stable disease was achieved under the fifth-line treatment of TAS-102 plus bevacizumab and transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). To date, the patient had a PFS of more than 11.6 months with significantly declined tumor markers, alleviated clinical symptoms and improved quality of life. This case suggests that TAS-102 combined with re-challenged bevacizumab and well-timed TACE intervention is an effective strategy for KRAS-mutated and MSS mCRC, with good tolerance and manageable safety, even following disease progression on prior fruquintinib and regorafenib therapies.
