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

backgroundThe aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of kinase insert domain containing receptor (KDR) genetic variation on the efficacy of treatment and safety of patients with chemotherapy-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) receiving apatinib.

methodsA total of 108 patients with chemotherapy refractory metastatic CRC who were treated with apatinib participated in this study retrospectively. Efficacy of the patients' treatment was evaluated. Prognosis was carried out and safety profile was documented, respectively. Blood specimens and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of the patients were obtained for the analysis of genetic variation and KDR gene mRNA expression, respectively. The association between genotype status and clinical outcomes was presented.

resultsObjective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) of the 108 patients with metastatic CRC receiving apatinib treatment were 5.6% and 69.4%, respectively. Survival analysis results exhibited that the median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of the 108 patients with metastatic CRC was 3.6 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 3.03-4.17 months) and 8.9 months (95% CI: 7.57-10.23 months), respectively. Subsequently, the analysis of KDR genetic variation indicated that rs2071559 was of clinical significance. The minor allele frequency of rs2071559 was 0.22 and the genotype status corresponded with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (

conclusionApatinib demonstrated a potentially superior clinical outcome for patients with chemotherapy-refractory metastatic CRC. KDR polymorphism rs2071559 could be used as a potential biomarker for the prognosis evaluation of patients with CRC receiving apatinib therapy.
