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

Topotecan, irinotecan, and 9-aminocamptothecin (9-AC) are analogs of the plant alkaloid 20(S)-camptothecin (CMT), the prototypical DNA topoisomerase I interactive agent. These agents interact with the topoisomerase I-DNA complex and prevent resealing topoisomerase I-mediated DNA single-strand breaks. This eventual leads to double-strand DNA breaks and apoptosis or cell death. Topotecan, irinotecan, and 9-AC have shown significant activity in mice bearing pediatric solid tumor xenografts; the greatest antitumor responses were found with protracted continuous schedules. Preclinical data also suggest that maintenance of an exposure-duration threshold (EDT) may be required to achieve optimal cytotoxicity. Pediatric Phase I trials have evaluated the toxicity and safety to camptothecin analogs in children with relapsed solid tumors and relapsed acute leukemia. The primary dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) for the CMT analogs in children has been myelosuppression, except for mucositis observed with the 120-hr continuous topotecan infusion schedule. Pharmacodynamic relationships with these analogs have been reported between systemic exposure, and myelosuppression and mucositis. Although not a primary objective of the early Phase I studies, antitumor responses have been reported. In this review, the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics of the CMT analogs studied in children are summarized, and future studies of these agents are discussed.
