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

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of anlotinib, an antiangiogenic multikinase inhibitor, as an add-on therapy to first-line epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine-kinase inhibitor (TKI) for patients with Methods: This multicenter, retrospective cohort study (ALTER-L058) analyzed data from the electronic health records-derived de-identified systems at 16 cancer centers in China. Adult patients between 18 and 75 years of age with histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who received first-line third-generation EGFR TKI monotherapy and had an oligoprogressive disease were included. Eligible patients received anlotinib (8, 10 or 12 mg) on days 1-14 of each 3-week cycle for ≥6 cycles. Tumor response was assessed radiologically by investigators per RECIST, version 1.1. The primary outcome was investigators-assessed progression-free survival, calculated from the date of medication initiation for the oligoprogressive disease to the first documented progressive disease or death. Results: Between January 2020 and December 2023, 100 patients received EGFR TKI plus anlotinib and 50 received EGFR TKI. At the data cutoff (20 November 2024), the median progression-free survival was 9.23 months (95% CI, 8.94-10.87) with EGFR TKI plus anlotinib Conclusion: Anlotinib, when added onto EGFR TKI therapy following gradual progression or oligo-progression, conferred significant PFS benefits upon
