Third-line or above anlotinib in relapsed and refractory small cell lung cancer patients with brain metastases: A post hoc analysis of ALTER1202, a randomized, double-blind phase 2 study.
Article in Cancer innovation, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Background: The prognosis of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and brain metastases (BM) was poor. This study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of anlotinib as third-line or above treatment in SCLC with BM. Methods: This was a subgroup analysis of the ALTER1202 trial, which was a randomized, placebo-controlled trial aimed to evaluate the role of anlotinib as third-line treatment or above in patients with SCLC. This study included patients with BM at baseline. The efficacy and safety outcomes included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), central nervous system (CNS), objective response rate (ORR), CNS disease control rate (DCR), time to CNS progression, and adverse events (AEs). Results: Twenty-one and nine patients with BM were included in the anlotinib and placebo groups, respectively. The median PFS and OS were 3.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.8-6.1) and 6.1 months (95% CI: 4.1-8.0) in the anlotinib group. Anlotinib was associated with a significant improvement in PFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.15, 95% CI: 0.04-0.51, Conclusions: Anlotinib proved to have potential CNS activity and a manageable toxicity profile in patients with SCLC and BM, significantly delaying CNS progression.
