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

Real-world outcome data for patients with FGFR gene alteration-positive (FGFRalt) advanced/metastatic solid tumors after standard-of-care (SOC) exhaustion are lacking. De-identified data from a custom-curated Flatiron Health Foundation Medicine Clinico-Genomic database were used in this retrospective, noninterventional, observational study. Eligible patients were ≥18 years of age with FGFRalt advanced/metastatic disease who had exhausted SOC treatment. Real-world overall survival (rwOS), progression-free survival (rwPFS), and treatment patterns were assessed. Primary analyses were weighted for tumor types in the RAGNAR clinical trial (NCT04083976) and accounted for delayed study entry. Data from 230 patients (FGFR fusions: 68.3%; FGFR mutations: 37%) across 18 tumor types were analyzed. In primary analyses, the median (95% confidence interval) rwOS was 183 (148-236) days, and the median rwPFS was 87 (63-196) days. The median rwOS ranged from 86 [41-not available (NA)] to 356 (299-NA) days across tumor types and was 161 (106-212) days for patients with FGFR fusions and 236 (82-538) days for patients with FGFR mutations. Most patients had received one (67.4%) or two (18.2%) lines of therapy/treatment blocks at SOC exhaustion. From first-line therapy to SOC exhaustion, most common treatments were chemotherapy (100%) and immunotherapy (17.4%), and from best supportive care after SOC exhaustion to death was chemotherapy (65.2%), immunotherapy (16.1%), and a clinical trial drug (15.5%). These real-world survival and treatment-pattern findings highlight the poor prognosis of and unmet medical needs for patients with FGFRalt advanced/metastatic solid tumors who have exhausted SOC treatment. SIGNIFICANCE: Findings from this real-world study-that patients with FGFRalt advanced/metastatic solid tumors have poor prognosis after SOC therapy exhaustion-contextualize results from the RAGNAR trial and suggest improved outcomes with erdafitinib. The rarity and poor prognosis of FGFR alterations highlight why randomized controlled trials in this population may be infeasible.
