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

BackgroundExtensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of combining immunotherapy (IT) with Anlotinib in ES-SCLC patients.MethodsThis study was a multicenter retrospective cohort analysis. Survival outcomes were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards regression models.ResultsA total of 147 patients were included in the analysis. The median overall survival (mOS) for the cohort was 15.5 months (95% CI: 13.9-17.1). Patients in the chemotherapy(CT) plus IT group had an mOS of 17.8 months, compared to 12.6 months in the CT-alone group (p = 0.055). When stratified into CT + IT + Anlotinib, CT + IT, and CT-alone groups, the mOS were 18.5, 16.3, and 12.6 months, respectively, with the CT + IT + Anlotinib group demonstrating significantly improved OS compared to CT-alone (p = 0.044). The ORR and DCR for the entire cohort were 71.4% and 85.7%, respectively. Subgroup analysis revealed ORRs of 74.1% (CT + IT + Anlotinib), 73.9% (CT + IT), and 70.1% (CT-alone), with corresponding DCRs of 92.6%, 91.3%, and 82.5%. Multivariate analysis revealed that radiotherapy (RT, p = 0.003) and IT (p = 0.021) were independent prognostic factors for OS, while liver metastasis (p = 0.023) and RT (p = 0.018) were associated with PFS. Patients receiving RT in combination with CT showed markedly improved OS (17.5 vs 12.5 months; p = 0.002) and PFS (7.3 vs 6.3 months; p = 0.004). The incidence of adverse events was comparable across all groups (p = 0.721).ConclusionThe combined application of Anlotinib with IT and the combination of CT with RT both significantly improved survival outcomes in patients with ES-SCLC while maintaining a favorable safety profile. These findings warrant further investigation in future studies.
