Optimizing Perioperative Management of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Insights Into Modified FOLFIRINOX Relative Dose Intensity and CA 19-9 Dynamics.
Article in Journal of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMany patients with resectable pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) treated with modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) require dose reduction due to adverse effects. This study explores the optimal threshold for mFOLFIRINOX relative dose intensity (RDI) and characterizes RDI's correlation with CA 19-9.
methodsA single-institution retrospective analysis of 97 patients with PDAC treated with mFOLFIRINOX and pancreatectomy from 2017 to 2022. RDI was calculated by dividing the delivered dose intensity by the intended dose intensity over 6 months.
resultsMedian overall RDI was 73.8% (fluorouracil 75.5%, irinotecan 74.5%, oxaliplatin 70.6%). An RDI cutoff of ≥ 70% (n = 57) was associated with significantly improved overall survival (median OS: 62.6 vs. 43.7 months, p = 0.034). Compared to patients with < 70% RDI who did not achieve CA 19-9 normalization, those with ≥ 70% RDI and normalization had significantly improved survival (HR: 0.27; 95% CI: 0.11-0.73). No significant benefit was observed with ≥ 70% RDI without CA 19-9 normalization or < 70% RDI with normalization. In the multivariable model, RDI ≥ 70% remained independently associated with improved OS (HR = 0.37, 95% CI: 0.18-0.79) but not disease-free survival (HR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.24-1.03).
conclusionReceiving ≥ 70% RDI of mFOLFIRINOX and CA 19-9 normalization independently improves survival in resected PDAC. The greatest benefit is observed when both are achieved.
