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

Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of the long-term (> 12 months) administration of anlotinib as a monotherapy or combined therapy in patients with advanced sarcomas. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients with advanced sarcomas with measurable target lesions since 2018. Twenty-two of the patients had taken anlotinib regularly for > 12 months. The patients' general information and the drug's clinical efficacy and toxicity data were collected and statistically analyzed using RECIST 1.1 to measure the target lesions and tumor PFS time as the main endpoints. We used a swimmer plot to observe the drug's efficacy and duration, and employed a waterfall plot to express the best treatment effect. Results: The study included 14 male and 8 female patients, ranging in age from 14 to 75 (mean: 44.82) years. The primary diseases included alveolar soft part sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, and others. The metastasis sites were the lungs in fifteen cases, lymph nodes in four cases, and multiple sites in three cases. Fourteen patients had previously undergone chemotherapy. The current therapy protocol was oral anlotinib alone for nine cases, combination chemotherapy for nine cases, and combination immunotherapy (anti-PD-1) for four cases. The highest clinical efficacy was complete remission (CR) in four (18.18%) cases, partial response (PR) in five (22.73%) cases, and stable disease in 13 (59.09%) cases, with an odds ratio of response of 40.91%. The mean PFS for the CR, PR, and stable disease groups was 16.50, 14.50, and 29.31 months, respectively (p < 0.05). The main adverse effects included hand-foot syndrome, hypertension, and leukopenia. Conclusion: Anlotinib monotherapy or combination therapy can be more effective and safer for certain advanced sarcomas, with more extended maintenance and acceptable side effects. Clinical efficacy at the CR and PR levels might predict the long-term PFS in certain advanced sarcomas.
