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

purposeVascular endothelial growth factor signaling pathway plays a crucial role in angiogenesis and has become a promising target for cancer drug development. We aimed to quantify the overall efficacy and safety of angiogenesis inhibitors in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

methodsElectronic databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing angiogenesis inhibitors with non-angiogenesis inhibitors for NSCLC patients. The extracted data on objective response rates (ORRs), disease control rates (DCRs), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were pooled. Common adverse events (AEs) were also studied.

resultsA total of 33 RCTs involving 17,396 patients were included. Compared with non-angiogenesis inhibitors, angiogenesis inhibitors resulted in significant improvement in PFS (HR, 0.81; 95 % CI 0.76-0.85; p < 0.001), OS (HR, 0.95; 95 % CI 0.92-0.98; p = 0.004), ORR (RR, 1.54; 95 % CI 1.37-1.73; p < 0.001) and DCR (RR, 1.18; 95 % CI 1.10-1.27; p < 0.001). The AEs associated with angiogenesis inhibitors were generally predictable and manageable.

conclusionAngiogenesis inhibitors were superior to non-angiogenesis inhibitors in terms of ORR, DCR, PFS and OS in advanced NSCLC patients. Further studies are warranted to explore the predictive biomarkers to pick up those who may gain utmost benefit from anti-angiogenic therapy.
