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.

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.

Abstract

Background: Regorafenib targets tumor angiogenesis and oncogenic signaling by inhibiting multiple kinases involved in angiogenesis, oncogenesis, and the tumor microenvironment. Chemotherapy of FOLFIRI causes direct cytotoxic damage to tumor cells. Objectives: We evaluated the efficacy and safety of regorafenib plus FOLFIRI with Design: A total of 153 patients were randomized (at a ratio of 2:1) to receive either regorafenib plus FOLFIRI (experimental group, 102 patients) or regorafenib alone (control group, 51 patients). Methods: Both groups received regorafenib (120 mg daily) for 21 consecutive days in 28-day cycles. In addition, the experimental group received FOLFIRI with Results: The final cohort included 116 patients. The experimental group exhibited significant improvement in PFS ( Conclusion: Our findings suggest that regorafenib plus FOLFIRI significantly improved PFS in patients with mCRC and offers a safety profile similar to that of regorafenib alone. This regimen may be particularly beneficial for patients with mCRC carrying wild-type Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov registry: NCT03880877 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/search?cond=NCT03880877).
