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

Patients with breast cancer who achieve a complete pathologic response (pCR) after preoperative (neoadjuvant) chemotherapy have an improved prognosis compared to those with residual disease; pCR being a good surrogate of long-term survival and cure from breast cancer. Despite their relative chemosensitivity, less than 25% of all patients with HER2/neu negative (0-2+), and hormone receptors (HR) negative tumors, so-called "Triple Negative" breast cancer (TNBC) treated with standard preoperative chemotherapy achieve pCR. Among patients with residual disease (no pCR) following neoadjuvant chemotherapy, patients with TNBC have the worst prognosis and overall survival. These patients lack the benefit of subsequent targeted therapy. Many studies have addressed improving the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy by including different cytotoxic agents, biologic modifiers, regimens, and schedules. Up to now, apart from trastuzumab for HRE2/neu+ tumors, none of the targeted agents can be considered a standard therapeutic option for primary systemic treatment. We hereby review the current literature on neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer, emphasizing treatment of TNBC. We also discuss potentially new therapeutic strategies that target this high risk group.
