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

purposeAnlotinib is a novel tyrosine kinase inhibitor with promising anti-tumor activity in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcomas (STS) in China. Liposomal doxorubicin monotherapy showed an encouraging effect on this disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with liposomal doxorubicin followed by anlotinib maintenance in patients with metastatic STS. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis is a multicenter, retrospective, observational study. We reviewed 27 patients with metastatic STS from July 2018 to December 2019, who were treated with anlotinib combined with liposomal doxorubicin followed by anlotinib maintenance in the absence of the tumor progression or intolerable adverse events (AEs).

resultsOf the 27 patients included, 2 patients had complete response (CR), 9 patients obtained partial response (PR), 11 patients achieved stable disease (SD). The objective response rate was 40.7%, the disease control rate was 81.5%, and the median progression-free survival (PFS) was 7 months (95% CI, 5.3-8.1 months). The progression-free rate (PFR) at 3 and 6 months was 81.5% and 59.3%, respectively. Most AEs were mild and acceptable. The most frequent grade 3/4 AEs were leukopenia (33.3%), febrile neutropenia (7.4%), and anemia (7.4%). No deaths related to the treatment were reported.

conclusionThis study shows that anlotinib combined with liposomal doxorubicin followed by anlotinib maintenance is effective in patients with metastatic STS, and most AEs of this combined therapy are mild and acceptable. Further investigation on its efficacy is warranted.
