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.

Abstract

backgroundThe study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined anlotinib and EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had gradual, oligo, or potential progression after previous EGFR-TKIs treatment.

methodsWe conducted an open-label, single-arm, multicenter, phase II trial in China. Eligible patients were 18-75 years old with histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC who were EGFR mutation positive and showed gradual, oligo, or potential progression after EGFR-TKIs. Anlotinib (12 mg/day) was administered orally for 2 weeks and then off 1 week in a 3-week cycle. EGFR-TKIs were continue used. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). The secondary endpoints included 6- and 12-month PFS rate, objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), overall survival (OS) and safety.

resultsFrom July 2019 to December 2022, 120 patients were enrolled. The median PFS (mPFS) was 9.1 months (95% CI 6.8-11.7). The PFS rates at 6 and 12 months was 68.5% and 38.8% respectively. For 86 patients with first-line 1st /2nd generation EGFR-TKIs, the mPFS was 9.2 months (95% CI 6.7-12.6). For 32 patients with first-line 3rd generation EGFR-TKIs, the mPFS was 10.3 months (95% CI 6.1-13.3). Overall ORR and DCR were 6.7% (95% CI 2.9-12.7) and 87.5% (95% CI 80.2-92.8), respectively. 52.5% of patients had grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs).

conclusionAnlotinib in combination with continuation of EGFR-TKIs prolonged the clinical benefit of EGFR-TKIs, demonstrating favorable survival outcomes and manageable toxicity in NSCLC treated with EGFR-TKIs and had specific progression modes, such as gradual progression.
