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

Sacituzumab govitecan (SG), a humanized antibody-drug conjugate, enables intra-tumor delivery of SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan, with the aim of increasing efficacy. SN-38 is predominantly inactivated by the polymorphically expressed uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1AA) where reduced activity can lead to toxicity. SG toxicity closely resembles that of irinotecan. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis (PROSPERO ID: CRD42024598820) to assess UGT1A1 genotype as a determinant of SG toxicity. Studies published up to September 29, 2024, on UGT1A1 genotype and SG toxicity were eligible. Risk of bias was assessed using the STROPS guideline. Effect estimates for each genotype, comparing heterozygotes and homozygotes to wild-type, were analyzed. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% Confidence Intervals (CIs) and forest plots were generated for each exposure-outcome combination. Four clinical trials including 999 UGT1A1 genotyped subjects were selected for the meta-analysis. SG treatment in UGT1A1*28 homozygous subjects increased the risk of toxicity. The OR (95% CI) was 1.80 (1.03-3.14) for neutropenia, 1.38 (0.90-2.10) for diarrhea, and 1.62 (1.07-2.45) for anemia of any grade, with low heterogeneity (I
