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: To study the clinical effects of anlotinib combined with second-line chemotherapy (SLC) on immunosuppression in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: In this retrospective study, the medical records of 106 patients with advanced NSCLC admitted to the Lianyungang First People's Hospital from November 2020 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Amongst 106 patients, 53 patients received second-line single-agent chemotherapy regimens (SLC group), and 53 patients received anlotinib combined with SLC (ASLC group). Prognosis, levels of immune cells and inflammatory cytokine, and adverse reactions were analyzed. Results: Clinical efficacy of the ASLC group was significantly higher than the SLC group (p<0.05). After treatment, patients in the ASLC group exhibited significantly higher levels of CD4+/CD8+ and CD4+ compared to those in the SLC group (p<0.05), while the difference in CD8+ level between the two groups was not statistically significant (p>0.05). After treatment, levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the ASLC group were lower compared to the SLC group (p<0.05). Conclusion: In patients with advanced NSCLC, anlotinib combined with SLC is associated with higher levels of immune cells and reduced inflammatory factors. This treatment regimen, thus, can reduce immunosuppression and improve the prognosis of NSCLC patients.
