Efficacy and safety of osimertinib combined with anlotinib in EGFR-mutant non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer with gradual progression after first-line osimertinib therapy: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

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.
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: Osimertinib, a third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), has substantially improved clinical outcomes in patients with Methods: This retrospective study enrolled patients with unresectable stage III or IV Results: A total of 52 patients were enrolled. The median age was 66 years. 40(76.9%) had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) of 0-1, 16 (30.8%) presented with brain metastases, 23 (44.2%) harbored exon 19 deletions, and 29 (55.8%) had L858R mutations. Molecular testing was performed in 12 patients after gradual progression. As of September 6, 2025, the median follow-up was 34.8 months, 48 PFS events were recorded and 22 patients died. The ORR was 7.7% (4/52), and the DCR was 86.5% (45/52). The median PFS (mPFS) was 9.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI): 4.2-12.1], with PFS rates of 61.5% at 6 months and 40.4% at 12 months. The median OS was not reached. OS rates were 86.3% at 12 months and 62.4% at 24 months. The exploratory multivariate COX analysis revealed that ECOG PS [hazard ratio (HR): 3.115, 95% CI: 1.111-7.706, P<0.001] and brain metastasis (HR: 2.242, 95% CI: 1.341-7.842, P=0.009) were associated with mPFS. Grade ≥3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurred in 9.6% (5/52) of patients. The most frequently observed AEs were diarrhea (42.3%, 22/52), hypertension (34.6%, 18/52), proteinuria (30.8%, 16/52), decreased appetite (28.8%, 15/52), and weight loss (28.8%, 15/52). Conclusions: In this retrospective cohort focusing on the specific pattern of gradual progression following first-line osimertinib therapy, continued osimertinib combined with anlotinib demonstrated encouraging antitumor activity, which warrants further evaluation in prospective comparative studies.
