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

Inactivating vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) may improve the efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The ATTENTION study (phase II, open-label, randomized, multicenter trial (Registration number: ChiCTR2100047453), evaluated the efficacy and safety of aumolertinib plus apatinib vs. aumolertinib alone in untreated, EGFR-mutant, advanced NSCLC. The primary endpoint was the 18-month PFS rate. Across 18 centers in China, 104 patients were enrolled to receive aumolertinib alone (n = 51) or with apatinib (n = 53). At a median follow-up duration of 19.4 months, aumolertinib plus apatinib outperformed aumolertinib alone in terms of the 18-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate (74% vs. 50%, P = 0.036), median PFS (not reached [NR] vs. 20.1 months, hazard ratio [HR] = 0.41, P = 0.017), and objective response rate (79% vs. 59%, P = 0.024). No grade 4/5 treatment-related adverse effects (TRAEs) were observed, whereas grade 3 TRAEs occurred in 38% vs. 27% of patients, with hypertension (11%) and platelet count decrease (9%) being most common in the combination arm. Exploratory analysis revealed that PFS benefits from aumolertinib plus apatinib predominantly in those with TP53 mutations. As an infusion-free option, aumolertinib plus apatinib demonstrated PFS benefits with manageable safety in patients with untreated, EGFR-mutant, advanced NSCLC.
