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

The term 'locally advanced breast cancer' covers a range of clinical scenarios, and has the implications that surgical clearance and local control will be difficult or impossible, and long-term survival rates will be poor. Treatment selection is particularly important in this group of patients to try to obtain maximum control of disease, and potentially improve surgical options and cure rates. Currently, assessment of estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and human epidermal receptor 2 status in tumour samples remains the gold standard for prediction of response to endocrine therapy, chemotherapy or targeted agents such as trastuzumab. Progress has been made in identifying markers that can help select treatments likely to be associated with response and avoid those associated with resistance. These potential markers include Ki67 proliferation rate, cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 expression, BRCA1/2 gene status and others.
