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

backgroundThere is a relative lack of real-world data regarding the treatment of advanced squamous cell lung cancer (SqCLC) with anlotinib. AIMS AND

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of combining anlotinib with ICIs for the treatment of advanced SqCLC.

methodsSixty patients with advanced SqCLC from December, 2017 to December, 2022, were retrospectively recruited in the final analysis. The overall survival (OS), adverse events (AEs), and short-term clinical effectiveness, including complete remission (CR), partial remission (PR), stable disease (SD), and progression disease (PD) of the study populations, were observed. Objective response rate (ORR) was defined as the combined percentage of CR and PR in all patients. Disease control rate (DCR) was defined as the combined percentage of CR, PR, and SD in all patients. Subgroups were classified based on age (<65 or ≥65), sex (female or male), and the eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) score (0-1 or 1-2).

resultsThe median age of the study population was 65 years, and 41 (68.3%) of the participants were male. ORR was 21.67%, and DCR was 83.33%. The median PFS and OS were 7.5 and 19.5 months, respectively. Furthermore, the Kaplan-Meier curves demonstrated no significant difference (P >0.05) in PFS and OS between different age groups, sex, and ECOG scores. Bone marrow suppression was the most common AE, followed by immune pneumonia.

conclusionThe findings of this study confirmed the effectiveness and safety of anlotinib and ICIs for advanced SqCLC.
