First-Line Modified FOLFIRINOX in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer: Real-World Outcomes and Prognostic Factors From a Vietnamese Cohort.
Article in Clinical Medicine Insights. Oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Metastatic pancreatic cancer is an aggressive malignancy with limited survival despite intensive chemotherapy. While modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) has illustrated efficacy, its real-world data are limited in low-resource healthcare systems. This study evaluated efficacy and toxicity and identified prognostic factors of mFOLFIRINOX as a first-line therapy for Vietnamese patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 36 patients receiving mFOLFIRINOX as first-line therapy. All patients received peg-filgrastim as the primary prophylaxis. An application of flexible treatment approach-interruption was permitted between cycles under physician guidance. Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), tumor response, and adverse events were assessed. Prognostic factors were analyzed using log-rank tests and Cox regression models. Results: The median follow-up was 15.6 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 3.8-27.3). The overall response rate (ORR) was 30.6 %, and the disease control rate (DCR) was 66.6%. The median progression-free survival was 6.7 (95% CI 5.4-8) months, and the median overall survival was 12.5 (95% CI 9.5-15.4) months. Grade 3 or 4 toxicities were mainly hematologic, including neutropenia in 33.4%, and anemia in 5.6% of patients. No cases of febrile neutropenia were observed. Univariate analyses identified performance status (PS) and age under 60 years as associated with improved outcomes. In multivariate Cox regression, PS remained an independent prognostic factor for overall survival. Conclusion: mFOLFIRINOX regimen demonstrated efficacy and manageable toxicity in Vietnamese patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. An individualized approach involving treatment interruptions was observed in patients with relatively favorable outcomes. These findings support the feasibility of the regimen in real-world settings.
