Apatinib for patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer: study protocol for an open-label randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn China, cervical cancer is the fifth most commonly diagnosed cancer, and the outcomes for patients with advanced or recurrent disease are poor. Apatinib, a small molecule inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR-2), is an orally bioavailable agent, which has shown survival benefit in multiple solid tumors. Based on previous research, this phase II clinical trial aims to verify apatinib's efficacy and safety in patients with advanced or recurrent cervical cancer. METHODS/
designThis randomized, parallel arm, open-label, interventional trial will be carried out to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of apatinib for advanced or recurrent cervical cancer. A total of 60 eligible patients will be allocated by intention, in a ratio of 1:1, to either the experimental group or the control group. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival, the secondary endpoints include overall survival, disease control rate, objective response rate, quality of life, and adverse events. Assessments will be carried out before enrolment (baseline) and every 4 weeks after treatment. DISCUSSION: The aim of this trial is to demonstrate the clinical effect, safety, and side effects of apatinib in the treatment of advanced or recurrent cervical cancer. This study will clarify the efficacy and safety of this regimen.
