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

backgroundRECIST may not be optimal for assessing treatment response with current systemic regimens. We evaluated RECIST, morphologic, and pathologically documented response (pathological response) in patients with initially unresectable colorectal cancer liver-only metastases (CRLM). PATIENTS AND

methodsFour hundred and eighty-nine patients from the phase III CAIRO5 trial were included who were treated with FOLFOX/FOLFIRI/FOLFOXIRI and bevacizumab or panitumumab. The association of the different response tools with overall survival (OS) was evaluated for all patients, and with early recurrence (<6 months) for patients after complete local treatment.

resultsIn the overall population, suboptimal [hazard ratio (HR) 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83-1.47] and optimal (HR 0.95, 95% CI 0.74-1.22) morphologic response were not associated with OS compared with no response. RECIST partial response (HR 0.61, 95% CI 0.49-0.76) and progressive disease (HR 5.77, 95% CI 3.97-8.39) were associated with OS compared with stable disease. In 242 patients who underwent local treatment, suboptimal (HR 1.22, 95% CI 0.76-1.96) and optimal (HR 1.28, 95% CI 0.89-1.86) morphologic response were not associated with OS compared with no response. RECIST partial response was not significantly associated with OS (HR 0.73, 95% CI 0.52-1.01), whereas progressive disease was (HR 19.74, 95% CI 5.75-67.78), compared with stable disease. While major pathological response (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.44-0.99) was associated with OS, partial pathological response (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.57-1.19) was not, compared with no pathological response. Pathological response, but not morphologic response and RECIST, was significantly associated with early recurrence (P < 0.001) which occurred in 13/58 (22%) patients with major response, 29/61 (48%) patients with partial response, and 51/88 (58%) patients with no response.

conclusionsOur results show that RECIST but not morphologic response was prognostic for OS. In patients eligible for local treatment, neither RECIST nor morphologic response were associated with early recurrence. Pathological response was associated with early recurrence but is only available post-operatively. Hence, novel preoperative parameters are warranted to predict early recurrence and prevent potentially futile liver surgery.
