Real-world efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with chemotherapy for advanced pancreatic cancer: a retrospective study.
Article in Future science OA, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundPancreatic cancer (PC) is often diagnosed at advanced stages, limiting surgical options. There is no standardized treatment for second-line or beyond therapies, necessitating alternative treatments. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with chemotherapy in advanced PC patients receiving second-line or subsequent treatments.
methodsA retrospective analysis of 68 advanced PC patients was conducted. Twenty-six patients treated with anlotinib and chemotherapy were compared to 42 controls who received chemotherapy only. Demographic data, efficacy, survival, and adverse reactions were analyzed.
resultsIn the anlotinib group, the therapeutic responses were as follows: Complete Response: 0, Partial Response: 2 (7.7%), Stable Disease: 13 (50.0%), and Progressive Disease: 11 (42.3%), the Objective Remission Rate was 7.7%, and the Disease Control Rate was 57.7%. The median Progression-Free Survival was 4.5 months. The Overall Survival was significantly longer in the anlotinib group compared to controls. Common adverse reactions included fatigue, bone marrow suppression, and hypertension, mostly grade 1-3. The potential toxicity and cumulative toxicity of long-term use is hand-foot syndrome, hypothyroidism and hypertension.
conclusionThe data generated suggest that anlotinib combined with chemotherapy may be an effective and tolerable option for second-line and subsequent treatment of advanced PC.
