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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of ivonescimab plus chemotherapy versus bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in advanced EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinoma after EGFR-TKI failure, and provide the first real-world head-to-head comparative evidence. Methods: This two-center retrospective propensity score-matched (PSM) study enrolled 390 eligible patients, including 130 receiving ivonescimab plus chemotherapy and 260 receiving bevacizumab plus chemotherapy. A 1:1 PSM was performed to balance baseline confounders. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Results: After PSM, 120 patients were included in each group with balanced characteristics. The ivonescimab group had significantly longer median PFS (7.6 vs 5.9 months, HR=0.77, 95% CI 0.60-0.997, P=0.042) and overall survival (18.0 vs 15.1 months, HR=0.72, 95% CI 0.56-0.94, P=0.010), as well as higher objective response rate (45.0% vs 28.3%, P=0.007) and disease control rate (91.7% vs 81.7%, P=0.023). In exploratory subgroup analysis, patients with PD-L1 TPS≥50% derived the greatest benefit. Safety profiles were comparable between groups. Multivariate analysis confirmed ivonescimab plus chemotherapy as an independent protective factor for both survival endpoints. Conclusion: Compared with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy, ivonescimab plus chemotherapy prolongs survival with manageable safety in this population, and may serve as a potential second-line treatment option. However, given the retrospective observational design, these findings require further prospective validation.
