Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03376191 (Prospective, Multicenter, Non-intervention Clinical Trial of Apatinib in the Treatment of Advanced Non-squamous,Non-small Cell Lung Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 121 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Angiogenesis inhibitors have produced significant advances in the treatment of several tumors including colorectal, lung, ovarian and renal carcinomas. These agents, however, modestly impact on the overall cure rate, and their activity is often limited because of the early outbreak of redundant pathways or resistance mechanisms. Moreover, no clear predictive factor has been identified for treatment selection in the clinic. Preclinical evidence suggest that antibodies targeting the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) axis may exert their activity throughout the inhibition of VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) phosphorylation, a key factor in the cancer angiogenic process. Among other molecules, ramucirumab, an intravenously administered, fully humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting the extracellular domain of the receptor, and apatinib, a potent oral inhibitor of the intracellular domain, are emerging as original antiangiogenic opportunities. This up-to-date review focuses on the development of VEGFR2 inhibitors across multiple cancers and presents results of the most recent researches, ranging from early phase I studies to randomized phase III trials, in which those drugs have been tested as a single-agent or in combination with different chemotherapy regimens.
