Feasibility and Tolerability of Anlotinib Plus PD-1 Blockades for Patients with Treatment-Refractory Metastatic Colorectal Cancer: A Retrospective Exploratory Study.

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
Objective: Therapeutic regimens are relatively scarce among patients with treatment-refractory metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to determine the feasibility and tolerability of anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades in patients with treatment-refractory metastatic CRC retrospectively. Methods: A total of 68 patients with previously treated metastatic CRC who received anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades in clinical practice were included in this study retrospectively. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, therapeutic outcomes and safety profile during administration were collected and briefly analyzed. All subjects were followed up regularly. Therapeutic outcomes, including drug response and prognosis, were presented, and a safety profile was depicted to illustrate the adverse reactions. Results: A total of 68 patients with treatment-refractory metastatic CRC who received anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades in clinical practice were included in the final analysis. Best therapeutic response during treatment indicated that partial response was observed in 11 patients, stable disease was noted in 41 patients, and progressive disease was found in 16 patients, producing an objective response rate of 16.2% (95% CI: 8.4%-27.1%) and a disease control rate of 76.5% (95% CI: 64.6%-85.9%). Prognostic analysis suggested that the median progression-free survival (PFS) of the 68 patients was 5.3 months (95% CI: 3.01-7.59), and the median overall survival (OS) was 12.5 months (95% CI: 9.40-15.60). Of the 11 patients who responded, the median duration of response was 6.7 months (95% CI: 2.89-10.53). Safety profile during treatment showed that patients experienced adverse reactions regardless of grade, and grade ≥3 adverse reactions were found in 61 patients (89.7%) and 41 patients (60.3%), respectively. Common adverse reactions were hypertension, myelosuppression (including leukopenia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia), fatigue, and hand-foot syndrome. Conclusion: Anlotinib plus PD-1 blockades demonstrated encouraging efficacy and acceptable safety profile in patients with treatment-refractory metastatic CRC preliminarily in clinical practice. This conclusion should be confirmed in prospective clinical trials.
