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.

Abstract

backgroundIn metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), improvements in survival from combining leucovorin/fluorouracil/oxaliplatin/irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) with bevacizumab have come at the risk of increased rates of high-grade toxicities. Trilaciclib is indicated to decrease the incidence of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression in patients receiving standard-of-care chemotherapy for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.

methodsPatients with untreated mCRC were randomly assigned 1:1 to trilaciclib (n = 164) or placebo (n = 162) prior to FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab for up to 12 cycles (induction), followed by trilaciclib or placebo prior to fluorouracil/leucovorin/bevacizumab (maintenance). Co-primary endpoints were duration of severe (grade 4) neutropenia (DSN) in cycles 1-4 and occurrence of severe neutropenia (SN) during induction. Secondary endpoints included antitumor efficacy, survival, and safety.

resultsThe study met its co-primary endpoints. Administering trilaciclib prior to FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab resulted in significant reductions in DSN in cycles 1-4 vs placebo (mean, 0.1 vs 1.3 days; P < .001) and occurrence of SN during induction (1.3% vs 19.7%; adjusted relative risk [96% CI] = 0.07 [0.0 to 0.3]; P < .001). Grade 3/4 adverse events, including neutropenia, diarrhea, and leukopenia, were less frequent with trilaciclib vs placebo (64.8% vs 73.1%). Trilaciclib was associated with fewer chemotherapy dose reductions and delays and with reduced administration of supportive therapies, compared with placebo. Objective response rate (41.6% vs 57.1%; P = .009) and median progression-free survival (10.3 vs 13.1 months; P < .001) were significantly lower with trilaciclib vs placebo.

conclusionsAdministering trilaciclib prior to FOLFOXIRI/bevacizumab protected the neutrophil lineage from the effects of chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression. However, antitumor efficacy endpoints favored placebo.
