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

Introduction: Pheochromocytomas (PCC) and paragangliomas (PGL) (collectively PPGL) are a type of rare hypervascular neuroendocrine tumors that are very challenging to treat. This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of the multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor anlotinib for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic (LA/M) PPGL. Methods: A total of 37 eligible patients with unresectable or progressive LA/M PPGL were enrolled. Of them, 27 patients received anlotinib alone (n = 19) or in combination (n = 8) with radionuclide therapies, including peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) and iodine 131 meta-iodobenzylguanidine ( Results: In the efficacy evaluation for all 27 patients, the ORR was 44.44% (95% CI: 24.4%-64.5%) and disease-control rate was 96.29% (95% CI: 88.7%-100%). Twelve cases (44.44%) achieved PR, 14 (51.85%) SD. The median PFS was 25.2 months (95% CI: 17.2 months to not reached). PFS was shorter in the anlotinib monotherapy group than in the group receiving anlotinib in combination with radionuclide therapy ( Conclusion: Anlotinib monotherapy or in combination with radionuclide therapies shows promising efficacy and safety for the treatment of LA/M PCC and PGL. Multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitors might represent a novel therapeutic strategy for patients with PPGL; however, large-scale prospective randomized, blinded, controlled clinical research studies are required.
