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: Third-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) are standard first-line options in advanced or metastatic EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of third generation EGFR-TKIs combined with recombinant human endostatin (Endostar) versus EGFR-TKIs alone in previously untreated advanced epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant NSCLC patients. Methods: A total of 118 untreated advanced EGFR-sensitive-mutant NSCLC patients from a single center were retrospectively included in the study. Of the patients, 71 received third-generation EGFR-TKIs (the T group) and 47 received combination of Endostar and third-generation EGFR-TKIs therapy (the E + T group). Progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), the objective response rate (ORR), the disease control rate (DCR), and adverse events (AEs) were evaluated. Results: Compared to the T group, the E + T group had a significantly higher ORR (91.5% Conclusions: In this real-world study, the combination of recombinant human endostatin and third-generation EGFR-TKIs significantly improved the ORR, PFS, and OS in previously untreated advanced EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients and thus represents a promising treatment option that requires further prospective evaluation.
