Efficacy and Response Biomarkers of Apatinib in the Treatment of Malignancies in China: A Review.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Apatinib is a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor marketed in China for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer (GC) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It has also been used off-label for the treatment of many other malignancies. To comprehensively evaluate the efficacy of apatinib as a targeted therapy in the treatment of malignancies, we conducted systematic online and manual searches of the literature on apatinib in the treatment of malignancies. In this review, we first summarized the efficacy of apatinib against various malignancies based on clinical trials where results have been reported. In prospectively registered trials, apatinib has been proven to be effective against GC, HCC, lung cancer, breast cancer, sarcoma, esophageal cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, cholangiocarcinoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and differentiated thyroid cancer. The response biomarkers for apatinib were also reviewed. This review will serve as a good reference for the application of apatinib in clinical studies and the design of clinical trials.
