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

Later-line treatment has demonstrated limited survival benefits in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of a triplet regimen combining metronomic capecitabine, antiangiogenic drugs, and PD-1 inhibitors in patients with mCRC. Between January 2021 and December 2023, 21 patients with mCRC received a triplet regimen as later-line treatment. Among these, seven patients achieved objective responses, nine had stable disease, two experienced disease progression, and three showed neither complete response nor progressive disease. The objective response rate (ORR) was 33.3% (7/21), and the disease control rate (DCR) was 90.5% (19/21). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.4 months (95% CI, 4.8-6.0), and the median overall survival (OS) was 10.4 months (95% CI, 6.3-14.5). A total of 17 patients experienced treatment-related adverse events, including 9 with Grade 3/4 toxicities. After 1:1 propensity score matching, 42 patients (21 receiving the triplet regimen and 21 receiving other therapies) were included. The triplet regimen was associated with significantly improved PFS (5.4 vs. 2.7 months,
