Clinical outcome of patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer treated with FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine plus Nab‑paclitaxel as a first‑line therapy: A retrospective analysis.

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
The present study aimed to evaluate the clinical benefits of leucovorin, 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) vs. gemcitabine plus Nab-paclitaxel (GnP) as a first-line therapy for patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer. For this purpose, in-house data available for 45 patients who received FOLFIRINOX or GnP as first-line treatment between 2014 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. In total, 21 and 24 patients received FOLFIRINOX and GnP, respectively. Although there were no significant differences in the median progression-free survival, the median overall survival was longer in the FOLFIRINOX group than in the GnP group (16.7 vs. 7.2 months). A total of 14 patients received FOLFIRINOX followed by GnP, whereas 3 patients received GnP followed by FOLFIRINOX. All patients who did not switch to second-line therapy owing to poor feasibility were included in the GnP group. The data indicated that patients receiving GnP as first-line therapy were less likely to switch to FOLFIRINOX and, consequently, had a worse prognosis.
