High efficacy of cisplatin neoadjuvant therapy in a prospective series of patients carrying BRCA1 germ-line mutation.
Article in Medical oncology (Northwood, London, England), 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Development of malignancies in BRCA1 germ-line mutation carriers usually involves somatic inactivation of the remaining BRCA1 allele. This feature leads to a tumor-specific deficiency of double-strand DNA break repair and underlies pronounced sensitivity of BRCA1-driven cancers to cisplatin. BRCA1-specific activity of cisplatin has been repeatedly demonstrated in cell culture and animal experiments; however, corresponding clinical evidence remains limited. We applied neoadjuvant monotherapy by cisplatin (75-100 mg/m(2), 4-6 cycles) to six breast cancer patients carrying BRCA1 5382insC mutation. Pronounced reduction in tumor size was observed in all treated women. Three patients (T2N0M0, T4N2M0 and T4N2M0) showed pathologic complete response, two women (T4N0M0 and T2N1M0) had partial pathologic response, and one woman (T3N2M0) declined surgery. This study and available literature data suggest that cisplatin is a preferable option for systemic treatment of BRCA1-related hereditary breast cancer.
