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

backgroundCyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) dysregulation is common in pediatric cancers. The dual CDK2/9 inhibitor fadraciclib has shown preclinical antitumor activity, alone and in combination, supporting clinical evaluation in children.

objectiveArm K of the AcSé-ESMART proof-of-concept phase I/II platform trial aimed to define the recommended phase II dose (RP2D), pharmacokinetics, antitumor activity and predictive biomarker(s) of fadraciclib in combination with temozolomide in pediatric patients with recurrent/refractory solid malignancies. PATIENTS AND

methodsFadraciclib was administered intravenously once on Day 1 ± Day 15, and temozolomide orally on Days 1-5. Dose escalation of fadraciclib followed the continuous reassessment method starting at 135 mg/m

resultsTwelve patients were enrolled and treated (median age: 12.1 years, range 4.0-17.9). Main diagnoses were sarcoma and central nervous system tumors. Dose-limiting toxicities and main treatment-related adverse events were hematologic. The final tolerated intravenous fadraciclib dose could be estimated at 135 mg/m

conclusionsThis pediatric study was the first to explore the CDK2/9 inhibitor fadraciclib. Fadraciclib combined with temozolomide showed a manageable safety profile with limited clinical activity. TRIAL REGISTRY: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT2813135. Registered on: 24 June 2016.
