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

Background: In the era of chronic cancer management, second-line treatment for HER2-negative (HER2-) advanced breast cancer demands convenient and safe therapeutic options. Vinorelbine tartrate soft capsules are an oral chemotherapeutic agent, and anlotinib is an oral multi-target anti-angiogenic drug. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of metronomic vinorelbine combined with anlotinib in HER2- advanced breast cancer. Methods: This is a prospective, single-arm, single center clinical study. Women with metastatic HER- breast cancer who had received one prior line of endocrine ± targeted therapy or chemotherapy ± immunotherapy were enrolled. Treatment consisted of vinorelbine tartrate soft capsules 30-50 mg orally three times weekly (every other day) plus anlotinib 12 mg once daily on days 1-14 of each 21-day cycle. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and adverse events (AEs). Results: Fifty-eight patients were enrolled. ORR was 63.8% and DCR 89.7%. Median PFS (mPFS) was 7.0 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 6.4-7.8]. Subgroup analyses showed that patients with prior PFS ≥6 months or Ki-67 ≤20% derived greater benefit: mPFS 7.5 Conclusions: Metronomic vinorelbine plus anlotinib shows favorable efficacy in HER2- advanced breast cancer without increasing the risk of AEs.
