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

purposeThe ALTER0303 trial showed that anlotinib, a novel antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitor, administered as third-line or further treatment prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This retrospective study investigated the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in real-world settings. PATIENTS AND

methodsMedical records of patients with advanced NSCLC receiving anlotinib as third-line or further treatment were collected, and survival curves were derived using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate analysis was performed by log-rank testing. Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the significance of factors obtained from the univariate analysis.

resultsFifty-two patients with advanced NSCLC were included. The objective response rate was 16%, and the disease control rate was 80%. The median PFS was 4.5 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.6-5.4), and the median OS was 9 months (95% CI: 6.5-11.5). Univariate analysis revealed that the group of patients with longer PFS and OS included Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) ≤1, ≤2 distant metastases, no liver metastases, ≤3 previous treatment lines, and ≤2 previous chemotherapy lines. Cox regression analysis demonstrated that only patients with ECOG PS ≤1 or no liver metastases had longer PFS and OS. Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events were reported in 14% of the patients, but no life-threatening adverse events were reported.

conclusionAnlotinib was well tolerated and effective in patients with advanced NSCLC in real-world conditions. Patients with ECOG PS ≤1 or no liver metastases have longer PFS and OS.
