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

backgroundAnlotinib is a vascular endothelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor recommended for the treatment of advanced lung cancer patients after at least two previous systemic chemotherapies. Currently, many patients with lung cancer do not respond well to anlotinib treatment. Therefore, the aim of this metabolomic study was to determine the internal mechanism of anlotinib action at the molecular level and to identify the potential biomarkers and pathways associated with the therapeutic effects of anlotinib.

methodsA total of 20 male nude mice were randomly divided into 2 groups and treated with anlotinib or physiological saline. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was performed to analyze the serum samples and determine the differential metabolites and pathways between anlotinib and control groups.

resultsWe observed significant differences between the anlotinib and control groups, and 13 endogenous differential metabolites and 5 potential metabolic pathways were identified. Glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, tryptophan metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism and valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis were the most important pathways regulated by anlotinib in vivo. Notably, these 5 differential pathways were highly associated with the TCA cycle, which is important in the proliferation and apoptosis of cancer cells.

conclusionThis serum metabolomic study revealed distinct metabolic profiles in lung cancer-bearing mice treated with anlotinib and identified differential metabolites and pathways between the anlotinib and control groups, which may provide new ideas for the clinical application of anlotinib.
