Oral Etoposide for Relapsed or Refractory Ewing Sarcoma in Adolescent and Adult Patients.
Article in Sarcoma, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Prognosis remains poor for patients with relapsed or refractory Ewing sarcoma, with limited treatment options after first-line therapy. Oral etoposide has efficacy in the paediatric setting; however, data are limited in adults. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 33 patients with relapsed or refractory Ewing sarcoma who completed at least one cycle of oral etoposide at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre from 2005 to 2020. The median age at diagnosis and first relapse was 21 and 23 years, respectively. All patients had prior exposure to intravenous etoposide. Nine patients (27%) had stable disease for at least 6 months, and six patients (18%) had a partial response. The clinical benefit rate was 45%. The median PFS was 3.6 months (95% CI: 1.7-5.5), and OS was 8.5 months (95% CI: 4.1-13.0). Despite prior exposure, oral etoposide demonstrated antitumour activity and durable responses in the relapsed or refractory setting for adult patients with Ewing sarcoma.
