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.

Abstract

introductionPancreatic adenocarcinoma is a major public health concern due to its high metastatic potential and poor prognosis. However, treatment options remain limited. A promising therapeutic strategy involves the sequential administration of standard therapies. In a previous phase Ib-II trial, we evaluated a sequential regimen of gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GEMBRAX) followed by FOLFIRINOX (FFX), which improved median overall survival (OS), progression-free survival and objective response rate (ORR), with acceptable toxicity. This phase II randomised trial will assess the efficacy of GEMBRAX followed by FFX compared with FFX alone as a first-line treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer (mPC). METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The GABRINOX-2 (GemcitabineABRaxaneIRInotecanOXaliplatine-2) study is an ongoing prospective, multicentre, randomised phase II trial. A total of 162 patients with mPC will be randomised (1:1) to receive GEMBRAX treatment followed by FFX (arm A) or FFX alone (arm B). The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of GEMBRAX followed by FFX with FFX alone as a first-line treatment for mPC. Secondary objectives include treatment tolerability, ORR, disease control rate, OS and patient quality of life. Additionally, we aim to identify novel biomarkers associated with treatment response through the analysis of circulating tumour DNA and assess the messenger RNA signature's predictive value for OS based on treatment approach. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study was approved by the TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: This trial has been registered on euclinicaltrials.eu (EU 2023-508594-84-00) and on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT05065801).
