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.

Abstract

backgroundHighly vascularised neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are attractive targets for foslinanib (CVM-1118), which disrupts vasculogenic mimicry and induces apoptosis via tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated protein 1. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of CVM-1118 in advanced NETs.

methodsPatients with grades 1-2, well-differentiated lung, gastrointestinal, or pancreatic NETs, refractory or intolerant to one or more standard therapies and progressing within 6 months, received CVM-1118 (200-300 mg orally twice daily) in 28-day cycles. Primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS), and safety.

resultsOf 43 enroled participants, 35 were efficacy-evaluable; most had grade 2 pancreatic (63%) or gastrointestinal (34%) NETs with two prior therapies. Median PFS was 10.5 months (95% CI, 5.6-22.3). ORR was 3%, DCR was 77%, and median OS was not reached (95% CI, 23.8-NR). Sensitivity analysis in the full analysis set (N = 43) showed a PFS estimate broadly aligned with the primary analysis (median, 8.4 months); patients with prior everolimus, sunitinib, or peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (N = 22; median, 8.3 months) showed similar findings. Treatment-related adverse events occurred in 44%, mostly grades 1-2, with no serious events.

conclusionsCVM-1118 demonstrates favourable efficacy and safety in advanced NETs. CLINICAL
