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

A phase I trial of a 24-hour infusion of paclitaxel was conducted to identify the maximum tolerated dose of paclitaxel with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in patients with unresectable malignancy previously untreated with chemotherapy. Nineteen patients with metastatic melanoma or non-small cell lung cancer were treated with paclitaxel administered at 250, 300, 400 mg/m2 every 3 weeks. G-CSF, 5 microg/kg was given as a daily subcutaneous injection 24 hours after the completion of the infusion. Dose limiting myelosuppression and peripheral neuropathy was observed at 400 mg/m2 and 350 mg/m2. Paclitaxel can be safely administered as a 24-hour infusion at 300 mg/m2 with G-CSF. Further studies of paclitaxel and G-CSF are recommended to determine a dose-response relationship in sensitive tumors.
