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: This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of anlotinib, a multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor, combined with radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC). Methods: A prospective single-center study enrolled 62 eligible LACC patients (intention-to-treat [ITT] population) between May 2023 and January 2024, with 53 completing the full treatment course (per-protocol [PP] population). Patients received anlotinib (10 mg/day, days 1-14, 21-day cycles) combined with intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and intracavitary brachytherapy. Efficacy was assessed using RECIST v1.1 criteria, including objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and progression-free survival (PFS). Safety was evaluated by monitoring adverse events. Cox regression analyses identified factors influencing PFS, with subgroup analyses by FIGO stage (I-III vs. IV). Results: In the PP population, ORR was 41.51% (5.66% complete response [CR], 35.85% partial response [PR]), and DCR was 83.02%. The ITT population showed lower ORR (35.48%) and DCR (70.97%). Common adverse events included fatigue (28.30%), hypothyroidism (22.64%), and diarrhea (22.64%), with manageable severity. Cox regression revealed that age, diabetes, hypertension, cancer history, and metastatic status significantly influenced PFS. Subgroup analyses showed no statistical differences in efficacy (ORR, DCR) between Stage I-III and IV patients, though Stage IV patients experienced earlier progression. Conclusion: Anlotinib combined with radiotherapy demonstrates promising efficacy and acceptable safety in LACC, with a favorable DCR. The multi-target mechanism of anlotinib may contribute to consistent efficacy across different FIGO stages, supporting its potential as a therapeutic option for LACC. Larger-scale trials are warranted to validate these findings.
