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

purposeApatinib is effective and safe for several advanced or metastatic cancers, but its therapeutic value in cervical cancer is still unknown. The aim of the study was to assess the therapeutic value of apatinib in patients with chemo-refractory advanced cervical cancer. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective study of patients with advanced cervical cancer treated with apatinib between April 2015 and December 2018 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou, China. Patients had to have failed at least 2 lines of chemotherapy prior to receiving apatinib. The clinical tumor response was evaluated after 4 weeks of apatinib treatment, and then every 8 weeks (two cycles). Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and adverse events were evaluated.

resultsTwenty-five patients were included in this study. The median PFS was 5.8 months (95% CI, 4.65-6.95), and the median OS was 12.2 months (95% CI, 8.99-15.41). ORR was 48% and DCR was 96%. Complete response was not observed. The most common adverse events in this study (all grades) were hand-foot syndrome (48%), hypertension (20%), and mouth mucositis (20%).

conclusionApatinib monotherapy showed good therapeutic value with tolerable adverse events for patients with chemo-refractory advanced cervical cancer.
