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

No definitive treatment strategy has been established for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) who experienced progression after three or more lines of chemotherapy. A total of 36 mCRC patients were enrolled in this retrospective study who received apatinib therapy under non-clinical trial setting after progression in People's liberation army general Hospital from March 2015 and August 2017. Progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), objective response rate (ORR) and treatment-related adverse events (AEs) were reviewed and evaluated. Five patients achieved partial response (PR), and 25 achieved stable disease (SD), and 6 achieved progression disease (PD), illustrating a DCR of 83.3% and an ORR of 13.9%. Median PFS was 3.82 m and median OS was not reached. The toxicities associated with apatinib were generally acceptable with a total grade 3/4 adverse event incidence of 27.8%. The most common grade 3/4 adverse events were hypertension (n = 4, 11.1%), liver function damage (n = 3, 8.3%) and hand-foot syndrome (n = 2, 5.6%). No drug-related death occurred. Apatinib therapy provides a reasonable option with an acceptable safety profile for Chinese mCRC patients failed to prior chemotherapy.
