Insight from Lymphocyte-Albumin Scores into Treatment Continuity of Nanoliposomal Irinotecan With 5-Fluorouracil and L-leucovorin in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimNanoliposomal irinotecan with 5-fluorouracil and L-leucovorin (nal-IRI/FL) is the standard regimen for metastatic pancreatic cancer, but there are no reports on prediction of early discontinuation. In this study, we investigated predictive factors of early discontinuation of nal-IRI/FL. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe study included 36 patients who received nal-IRI/FL at Wakayama Medical University Hospital between June 2021 and May 2022. Those with time-to-treatment failure (TTF) ≤28 days were defined as the early discontinuation group (group ED), and those with TTF >28 days were placed in the continuation group (group C). Laboratory data were collected just before and every 14 days after initiation of nal-IRI/FL treatment.
resultsThere were six patients (16.7%) in group ED and 30 patients (83.3%) in group C. The lymphocyte×albumin (LA) score before therapy was significantly lower in group ED (p=0.005). In receiver operating characteristic analysis, pre-treatment LA was the best predictor for early discontinuation, with a cutoff value of 4,142 (sensitivity: 1.00, specificity: 0.77, p=0.004). In group C, LA was significantly lower at 28 days before nal-IRI/FL treatment failure compared to the value before the start of therapy [median with range: 3,299 (1,478-6,994) vs. 4,304 (2,085-8,085), p=0.006].
conclusionThe LA score is a useful marker for evaluating treatment continuity, and especially early discontinuation, of nal-IRI/FL in patients with pancreatic cancer.
