The prognostic impact of surufatinib for the treatment of advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: a single center real-world retrospective study.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06378580 (The Prognostic Impact of Surufatinib for the Treatment of Advanced Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly aggressive tumor with a poor prognosis, despite the emergence of chemotherapies such as gemcitabine plus albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-paclitaxel, AG), unmet medical needs still exist for patients with metastatic PDAC (mPDAC). Surufatinib is a small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor targets vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFR) 1, 2, 3, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), and colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R). This single-center, retrospective study evaluates the potential efficacy of combination therapy containing Surufatinib in advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer. Method: We conducted a real world retrospective study of mPDAC patients who received the Surufatinib between July 2022 and July 2023 at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital. In addition, patients who received first line chemotherapy at the same period were analyzed as comparison. Result: As of November 20, 2024, 20 eligible patients were identified in this retrospective study. The median progression-free survival (mPFS) of patients who received Surufatinib treatment was 5.27 months (95% CI, 2.55-7.98), and the median overall survival(mOS) was 9.93 months (95% CI,6.55-13.32). For fist line treatment, 9 patients received Surufatinib combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and chemo and the mPFS was 7.5 months (95% CI, 3.14-11.85), compared with an mPFS of 5.43 months (95% CI, 3.89-6.96) for 52 mPDAC patients received chemotherapy at the same period. Grade 3 or above Treatment Related Adverse Event (TRAE) were neutrophil count decreased (10%), and white blood cell count decreased (5%). Conclusion: Preliminary data suggest that surufatinib shows potential therapeutic benefit in mPDAC, but its efficacy needs to be further validated. This combination strategy may provide a new treatment option for patients, especially in the first-line setting. Future studies will expand the sample size and include additional evaluation parameters to fully assess its efficacy and safety. Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials, identifier NCT06378580.
