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

Breast cancer, a leading cause of increased morbidity and mortality among women, overexpresses the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 in approximately 20% to 30% of cases. Trastuzumab (Trz), a monoclonal antibody against the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, improves survival in breast cancer patients in both the adjuvant and metastatic settings. Despite the therapeutic benefits of Trz, there is an increased incidence of cardiotoxicity, particularly when administered following anthracycline-based chemotherapy. The pathogenesis underlying Trz-mediated cardiotoxicity remains poorly understood. The present review focuses on the current understanding of Trz-mediated cardiotoxicity from both the basic and clinical science perspectives.
