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

DX1002 is an oral vascular-disrupting agent and exhibits promising results in preclinical studies, leading to tumor vasculature destruction and xenografted tumor necrosis in various animal models. In the phase 1 trial, 17 patients with solid tumors receive DX1002 ranging from 50 to 1,100 mg. The maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase 2 dose of DX1002 are determined as 600 mg once daily. The most common treatment-related adverse events are nausea (23.5%), vomiting (17.6%), and fatigue (11.8%). All patients are evaluable for anti-tumor response, 12 of which achieve stable disease as best response. One patient with non-small cell lung cancer achieves a stable disease duration of 6.5 months. The median time to progression (TTP) is 2.70 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.90-4.60). Interestingly, reduced blood perfusion is observed by contrast-enhanced ultrasound in a patient with colon cancer. In conclusion, DX1002 is well tolerated and exhibits preliminary anti-tumor efficacy in patients with solid tumors. This study was registered at chictr.org.cn (ChiCTR2400080298).
