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

introductionA combination of targeted anticancer drugs with cytotoxic therapy can potentially overcome multidrug resistance. The multi-target kinase inhibitor sorafenib demonstrates synergistic activity when combined with chemotherapeutics in preclinical models. This phase I trial aimed to assess safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of sorafenib with gemcitabine and carboplatin.

methodsThis single-center, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study included patients with advanced solid tumors considered for palliative treatment with gemcitabine and carboplatin. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was determined using a classic 3 + 3 dose-escalation design. Antitumor activity was evaluated every two treatment cycles.

resultsIn total, 45 patients received treatment. Of the patients, 49% (n = 22) were male, and median age was 58 years [range: 27-72 years]. After dose-escalation, sorafenib 400 mg once daily (q.d.) on days 1-21, gemcitabine 500 mg/m

conclusionsA recommended phase 2 regimen of sorafenib 400 mg q.d. combined with gemcitabine 500 mg/m
