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

backgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer and its incidence seriously affects human health. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in patients with advanced NSCLC.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted on 150 patients with advanced NSCLC who were treated with anlotinib and discontinued treatment after disease progression or intolerance due to adverse events. Progression-free survival (PFS) of advanced NSCLC patients served as an endpoint. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were applied to evaluate the short-term efficacy of anlotinib treatment in advanced NSCLC patients.

resultsThe median PFS of the whole 150-patient cohort was 5.0 months in (95% CI: 4.00-5.95), 5.0 months (95% CI: 3.0-6.00) in 90 patients with adenocarcinoma, and 4.5 months (95% CI: 4.00-7.00) in 60 patients with squamous cell carcinoma (P=0.676). The PFS was 6.5 months (95% CI: 4.00-8.80) and 4.5 months (95% CI: 4.00-5.60) in the first-/second-line and ≥ third-line patients, respectively (P=0.315). Following the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) score, the median PFS of 95 patients with a PS score 0-1 was 5.5 months (95% CI: 4.50-6.50), and the median PFS of 55 patients with a PS score ntswas 4.0 months (95% CI: 3.00-5.00) (P=0.221). For the 49 patients in the combination group the median PFS was 7.0 months (95% CI: 4.00-9.00), while that of the 101 patients in the anlotinib-alone group was 4.0 months in (95% CI: 2.80-5.50) (P=0.010). In a separate analysis of the combination group, the median PFS of anlotinib combined with chemotherapy, epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), and immunotherapy was 5.5 months (95% CI: 4.00-9.00), 12.0 months (95% CI: 6.00-12.00), and 6.5 months (95% CI: 4.00-9.80), respectively (P=0.036).

conclusionsAnlotinib exhibits good tolerance and performance in prolonging the PFS of patients and has considerable potential as a treatment for advanced NSCLC.
