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

On August 6, 2024, the FDA granted traditional approval to vorasidenib (Voranigo, Servier Pharmaceuticals, LLC) for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 12 years and older with grade 2 astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma with a susceptible isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 or 2 mutation following surgery, including biopsy, subtotal resection, or gross total resection. The approval was based on data from a randomized, multicenter, double-blind trial of vorasidenib compared with placebo. The primary objective was to demonstrate the efficacy of vorasidenib based on radiographic progression-free survival (PFS) per blinded independent central review according to the modified Response Assessment for Neuro-oncology for Low-Grade Gliomas criteria. PFS was assessed in 331 patients, and the HR was 0.39 (95% confidence interval, 0.27-0.56; P value < 0.0001). The most common (≥15%) adverse reactions included fatigue, headache, COVID-19, musculoskeletal pain, diarrhea, nausea, and seizure. PFS was considered an appropriate endpoint for this disease, considering the long natural history and the randomized design allowed for the interpretation of the treatment effect in this rare malignancy. This was the first FDA approval for a targeted therapy for isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutant grade 2 gliomas.
