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

backgroundLenvatinib inhibits tyrosine kinases, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) receptor, fibroblast growth factor receptor, platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha, RET proto-oncogene and KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase. We assessed the efficacy and safety of lenvatinib in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer after failure of standard chemotherapies. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis was an open-label, single centre, single-arm, phase 2 study. Eligible patients had unresectable metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma, refractory or intolerant to fluoropyrimidine, irinotecan, oxaliplatin, trifluridine/tipiracil, anti-VEGF therapy and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy (for tumours with wild-type

conclusionsLenvatinib showed promising clinical activity and was tolerated in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer after failure of standard chemotherapies. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: UMIN-CTR, UMIN000023446 and JAMCCT-CTR, JMA-IIA00261.
