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

objectivesTreatments for advanced small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients who are resistant to first-line chemotherapy are limited. Given that antiangiogenic agents and immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can confer synergistic therapeutic benefits, combination therapy should be considered. We explored the efficacy and safety of combination therapy with anlotinib and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitors as second-line and subsequent therapy for advanced SCLC. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe reviewed advanced SCLC patients at Shanghai Chest Hospital who had received anlotinib in combination with ICIs from November 2016 to November 2020 as second- and subsequent-line treatment. Patients with advanced SCLC who had received paclitaxel monotherapy as second-line treatment were included as the control group.

resultsA total of 141 patients were included in the final analysis (40 in the combination therapy group and 101 in the paclitaxel monotherapy group). The median progression-free survival (PFS) times for the combination therapy and paclitaxel monotherapy groups were 3.40 and 2.83 months (p = 0.022), respectively, while the median overall survival (OS) times for the combination therapy and paclitaxel monotherapy groups were 8.20 and 5.87 months (p = 0.048), respectively. Hypertension and hepatic dysfunction were the most pronounced adverse events of combination therapy and two patients changed regimens due to severe fatigue and anorexia.

conclusionThe combination of anlotinib and PD-1/PD-L1 blockade has promising efficacy and safety as a second-line or subsequent therapy for SCLC.
