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

Aim: To compare the efficacy and safety of alectinib with other ALK inhibitors in treating patients with metastatic or locally advanced Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted up to November 2021. Network meta-analyses were performed using the frequentist method (random effects). GRADE evidence profile was conducted. Results: 13 RCTs were selected. For overall survival, alectinib was found to reduce the risk of death compared with crizotinib. In progression-free survival, alectinib reduced the risk of death or progression compared with crizotinib and ceritinib. Subgroup analysis by brain metastasis at baseline showed the superiority of alectinib over crizotinib and a similar effect compared with second-and third-generation inhibitors. Alectinib showed a good safety profile compared with the other ALK inhibitors.
