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

Viewed as a whole, the aggregate outcomes of a number of positive randomized phase III clinical trial results evaluating the VEGF-pathway targeting antiangiogenic drug bevacizumab, with or without concurrent chemotherapy, in metastatic breast cancer patients have been disappointingly modest. In the case of antiangiogenic tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) the results have been negative. Nevertheless, several findings indicate antiangiogenic drugs, especially bevacizumab, are active and can lead to demonstrable clinical benefit in some patients, thus stimulating research into developing strategies to significantly improve their efficacy and reduce toxicity. Some of these initiatives include: 1) discovery and validation of predictive markers that can prospectively identify patients more likely to benefit from antiangiogenic therapy; 2) recognition that the nature of the chemotherapy partner or backbone can strongly impact outcomes when combined with antiangiogenic drugs such as bevacizumab, and thus developing what may be improved combination chemotherapy partner regimens, e.g. metronomic chemotherapy; 3) evaluating prospectively in more depth whether subtypes of the disease-especially triple negative or inflammatory breast cancer-are more responsive to antiangiogenic therapy than other subtypes; 4) evaluating new agents that inhibit angiogenesis in a VEGF-independent manner and other types of drug that can be effectively combined with antiangiogenics, e.g. c-met inhibitors; 5) uncovering the basis of resistance or relapse/progression on the therapy with antiangiogenic drugs; 6) development of improved predictive preclinical breast cancer models for therapy testing, e.g. treatment of mice with established multi-organ breast cancer metastatic disease or genetically engineered mouse models of breast cancer, or mice bearing patient derived breast cancer tissue xenografts.
