In one paragraph

Review in Biomedical reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Treatment options for breast cancer vary based on tumor surface markers and clinical factors, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biological therapy or a combination thereof. An important molecular determinant of therapy is the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positivity of the tumor, which has been identified in 20-25% of breast cancers and is a prognostic marker of poor outcome. The advent of HER2-targeted therapies has significantly improved the survival of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. This review focuses on current HER2-targeted therapeutic options for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, including monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
