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

Background: A phase III randomized multicenter trial (ALTER0303) reported anlotinib to be significantly beneficial to patient survival. An array of inflammatory biomarkers, such as neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), are associated with the response to treatment in numerous types of cancer. However, we found few studies investigating the predictive value of NLR or PLR in advanced NSCLC treatment with anlotinib. Thus, our objective was to examine the relationship between NLR and PLR and treatment effect, as well as to individuate patient stratification and selection. Methods: NLR and PLR as well as their variations were calculated in 152 advanced NSCLC patients receiving anlotinib as a third or further-line treatment at Ningbo Medical Center Lihuili Hospital between July 2018 and December 2020. The best cut-off values of NLR and PLR for predicting the treatment response were selected. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method, while univariable and multivariable Cox regression were used to identify and determine dependent and independent predictors of survival. Results: , Low disease control rate (DCR) was related with a high pre-NLR ( Conclusions: Pre-PLR and post-NLR were independent prognostic indicators in patients with advanced NSCLC receiving anlotinib as a third or further-line treatment. Patients whose risk value score was 0 had a higher therapy effectiveness and better survival.
