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

Background: Nanoliposomal irinotecan with fluorouracil and folinic acid (NFF) is a standard regimen for patients with unresectable or recurrent pancreatic cancer (urPC) after gemcitabine-based chemotherapy. However, little is known about the clinical impact of previous chemotherapy on the effects of NFF in the real world. Objectives: We retrospectively evaluated whether the efficacy and safety of NFF differed depending on the history of prior chemotherapy among urPC patients receiving NFF. Design: This study was conducted using the real-world data of Japanese patients with urPC who received NFF in the multicenter NAPOLEON-2 study. Methods: We compared the efficacy and adverse events (AEs) after NFF initiation between previous irinotecan users and non-users, fluorouracil users and non-users, and platinum users and non-users. We also investigated whether the treatment duration of gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP) influenced the efficacy of NFF among patients treated with NFF as a second-line therapy after GnP. Results: Overall, 161 patients were enrolled, all of whom had previously received gemcitabine. In the efficacy analysis between irinotecan users and non-users, the median overall survival (OS) was 9.2 and 8.0 months, respectively (hazard ratio (HR) 0.88; Conclusion: NFF may be effective and tolerable, even in patients previously treated with irinotecan-, fluorouracil-, or platinum-based chemotherapy, in the real world.
