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.

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/

objectivesTrabectedin is a standard-of-care chemotherapy for recurrent/metastatic liposarcomas, including myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCLS). This pooled analysis was performed to evaluate trabectedin efficacy in MRCLS across multiple trials to establish a standard-of-care efficacy baseline.

methodsThe Yale University Open Data Access (YODA) Project was queried for prospective trabectedin trials. Data on patients with unresectable, locally advanced/metastatic MRCLS who received ≥ 1 trabectedin dose(s) (1.0-1.5 mg/m

resultsSixty-three patients were included (42 from NCT01343277, 13 from NCT00060944, 8 from NCT00210665): 32% were female, the median age was 50 years, and 79% were White. The objective response rate was 16.3% (8/49) of patients (37 from NCT01343277, 12 from NCT00060944). The disease control rate was 77.6% (38/49). Overall survival data were available for 63 patients: the median overall survival was 22.51 months (95% CI: 16.99-34.33).

conclusionsThis analysis represents one of the largest pooled populations to date of patients with advanced MRCLS treated with trabectedin in prospective clinical trials to be reported. Whilst limited by typical factors affecting pooled analyses, including cross-study heterogeneity, nevertheless the results estimate a trabectedin efficacy baseline against which to inform other therapies for MRCLS.
