Second-line nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer following FOLFIRINOX: outcomes and insights.
Article in American journal of cancer research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combination of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine as a second-line treatment, after first-line treatment with FOLFIRINOX regimen, for metastatic or locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer. This national multicenter retrospective study included patients with metastatic or unresectable locally advanced pancreatic cancer treated with FOLFIRINOX in the first-line setting. After progression with first-line treatment, all patients were treated with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine as second-line treatment. This study included 180 patients across 15 centers with a median age of 60 years. The median overall survival (OS) of all patients was 17.9 months. The median progression-free survival (PFS) following first-line chemotherapy was 8.4 months, whereas the median PFS achieved with nab-paclitaxel plus gemcitabine treatment was 5.5 months. Regarding treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs), all grades of non-hematologic adverse events (AEs) occurred at expected rates. However, the incidence of hematologic TRAEs was lower than anticipated. Grade 5 TRAEs were not observed. Patients who responded well to first-line FOLFIRINOX demonstrated a trend toward better outcomes with NG, although this did not reach statistical significance. The combination of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine is safe and effective as second-line treatment for locally advanced unresectable or metastatic pancreatic cancer after FOLFIRINOX.
