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: Bevacizumab (Avastin Methods: Literature search of Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and ClinicalTrials.gov was performed from inception until October 15, 2021. The efficacy outcome indicators were objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). The occurrence of adverse events (AEs) was evaluated for safety outcome. Results: Ten RCTs recruiting 6,416 patients with non-squamous NSCLC were included. All RCTs studies included the biosimilar bevacizumab group as the experimental group and the original bevacizumab group as the control group. The patients in the experimental group and control group received the same dose and duration of chemotherapy combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel. The results of meta-analysis showed that there were no significant differences in ORR [risk ratio (RR): 0.97, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.93-1.02. P=0.841, I Discussion: This is the first study to independently report biosimilar bevacizumab in a meta-analysis on NSCLC treatment. The results showed that biosimilar bevacizumab had similar efficacy and safety compared with the original bevacizumab. Trial Registration: PROSPERO registration No. CRD42021276991.
