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

Despite poor response rates and dose-limiting cardiotoxicity, doxorubicin (doxo) remains the standard-of-care for patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma. We evaluated the efficacy of two tetrapeptidic doxo prodrugs (PhAc-ALGP-Dox or CBR-049 and CBR-050) that are locally activated by enzymes expressed in the tumor environment, in ten sarcoma patient-derived xenografts. Xenograft models were selected based on expression of the main activating enzyme, i.e., thimet oligopeptidase (THOP1). Mice were either randomized to vehicle, doxo, CBR-049 and CBR-050 or control, doxo, aldoxorubicin (aldoxo) and CBR-049. Treatment efficacy was assessed by tumor volume measurement and histological assessment of ex-mouse tumors. CBR-049 showed significant tumor growth delay compared to control in all xenografts investigated and was superior compared to doxo in all but one. At the same time, CBR-049 showed comparable efficacy to aldoxo but the latter was found to have a complex safety profile in mice. CBR-050 demonstrated tumor growth delay compared to control in one xenograft but was not superior to doxo. For both experimental prodrugs, strong immunostaining for THOP1 was found to predict better antitumor efficacy. The prodrugs were well tolerated without any adverse events, even though molar doses were 17-fold higher than those administered and tolerated for doxo.
