The Efficacy and Safety of Apatinib in Refractory/Relapse Advanced Pediatric Solid Tumor: A Retrospective Study.

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
backgroundThe prognosis of recurrent or refractory advanced childhood solid tumor patients is very poor and new therapeutic strategies are in urgent need. This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of apatinib in pediatric refractory/relapse advanced solid tumor patients. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe study retrospectively reviewed recurrent or refractory advanced pediatric solid tumor patients who were treated with apatinib, an oral small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that targets vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2), at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (China) from January 2016 to March 2019.
resultsFifty-six patients were included in the safety evaluation and 49 patients were included in the efficacy evaluation. The objective responses rate (ORR) was 26.5% (95% CI 15-41): 0 CR (complete response) and 13 PR (partial response). Disease control rate (DCR) (CR+PR+SD) was 79.6% (95% CI 65-90). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.0 months (95% CI 2.6-5.4). There was no significant difference for ORR or PFS between the A (apatinib monotherapy), A+MT (apatinib combined with oral metronomic therapy) and A+SC (apatinib combined with salvage combination chemotherapy) group (p>0.05). The most common grade 3 or 4 adverse events were neutropenia (9[16.1%]), thrombocytopenia (8[14.3%]), hand-foot syndrome (3[5.4%]), hypertension (3[5.4%]), anaemia (3[5.4%]) and mucositis (2[3.6%]). Hypertension was the most serious adverse event and one death that occurred was considered as drug-related.
conclusionApatinib showed promising clinical activity in heavily treated recurrent or refractory advanced childhood solid tumor patients. However, it is necessary to pay special attention to monitoring blood pressure when using apatinib in children. Prospective randomized controlled clinical trial is warranted.
