Table 2_Old tale new admirers, cetuximab maintenance in metastatic colorectal cancer: a sy

Yici Yan's meta-analysis, last updated in 2026, aggregates data from 6 studies involving 727 patients to assess the efficacy and safety of cetuximab maintenance therapy for metastatic colorectal cancer. The analysis includes pooled hazard ratios for progression-free and overall survival, as well as relative risks for adverse events. The dataset is a 19.8 KB document summarizing the review's methods, results, and conclusions.

Use Cases

• Assessing the efficacy of cetuximab maintenance therapy based on pooled progression-free and overall survival hazard ratios.
• Evaluating the safety profile of cetuximab based on relative risks for all-grade and high-grade adverse events.
• Investigating subgroup differences in treatment benefit, such as the reported survival advantage for Asian patients.
• Informing the design of future clinical trials based on the identified limitations and conclusions of the meta-analysis.

Strengths

• Includes data from 6 studies and 727 patients, providing a quantitative synthesis.
• Reports specific pooled hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals for key outcomes like progression-free survival (HR: 0.42) and overall survival (HR: 0.47).
• Includes subgroup analysis results, such as the hazard ratio for Asian patients (HR: 0.53).
• Has a registered systematic review protocol (CRD42024513879).

Limitations

• The underlying data is a summary document (DOCX); the raw, column-level data from the included studies is not provided.
• Row count for the primary data is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for direct computational analysis.
• The dataset's small size (19.8 KB) indicates it is a summary report, not a large-scale primary data collection.
