Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with capecitabine and irinotecan guided by UGT1A1 status in patients with locally advanced rectal cancer: 5-year update of the CinClare trial.
Trial report in Cancer communications (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02605265 (A Randomized Phase III Trial of Capecitabine With or Without Irinotecan Driven by UGT1A1 in Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
backgroundThe optimal regimen and chemotherapy intensity are still under investigation for neoadjuvant treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). The CinClare trial has demonstrated improved pathologic complete response (pCR) with the addition of irinotecan to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) guided by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) genotype in LARC. Here, we report the 5-year follow-up outcomes of the CinClare study.
methodsFrom November 2015 to December 2017, this randomized, open-label, multicenter, phase III trial enrolled 360 patients with LARC and assigned them in a 1:1 ratio to CapIriRT (radiation with capecitabine combined with irinotecan followed by irinotecan and capecitabine) or CapRT (radiation with concurrent capecitabine followed by oxaliplatin and capecitabine). Irinotecan dosing was guided by UGT1A1 genotype (80 mg/m
resultsWith a median follow-up of 60 months, the CapIriRT group showed numerically higher 5-year LC (95.6% vs. 93.9%), 5-year DMFS (83.9% vs. 77.9%), 5-year DFS (77.7% vs. 70.6%), and 5-year OS rates (82.9% vs. 76.1%) than the CapRT group. Further RMST test also showed a statistically significant difference in DFS (P < 0.05) and a borderline difference in OS (P = 0.050). Among the UGT1A1 *1/*1 population, the CapIriRT group had significantly improved 5-year rates of DMFS, DFS, and OS (all P < 0.05). Patients achieving pCR also had significantly longer DFS and OS compared to non-pCR patients (P < 0.05).
conclusionsThe addition of irinotecan guided by UGT1A1 genotype to a standard capecitabine-based scheme brings clinical benefits with improved LC, DMFS, DFS, and OS. Patients with the UGT1A1 *1/*1 genotype derived notable benefit from irinotecan, with improved survival outcomes. Achievement of pCR is crucial as it is associated with improved long-term survival. These findings support the integration of genomic testing into clinical practice to achieve a personalized irinotecan dosing regimen, which can optimize efficacy and safety.
