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

Lapatinib enhances antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity of trastuzumab. FcγR polymorphisms have been associated with both ADCC and clinical activity of trastuzumab in HER2+ breast cancer (BC) patients (pts). We analyzed FcγRIIa-H131R and FcγRIIIa-V158F polymorphisms in the CHER-LOB trial population of HER2+ BCs treated with preoperative chemotherapy plus trastuzumab (arm A), lapatinib (arm B) or both (arm C). Genotyping was successfully performed in 73/121 (60%) pts. A significant improvement in pathological complete response (pCR) rate was observed for the combination arm C, but only in FcγRIIIa V allele carriers (C vs A, 67 vs 27%, P=0.043; C vs B, 67 vs 22%, P=0.012). An independent interaction between arm C and FcγRIIIa V allele was found for pCR (odds ratio=9.4; 95% confidence interval, 2.3-39.6; P=0.003). No significant associations were observed between pCR and FcγRIIa polymorphism, and between pre-treatment tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes and FcγR polymorphisms. Our study provides evidence for a FcγRIIIa V allele-restricted pCR benefit from neoadjuvant trastuzumab plus lapatinib in HER2+ BC.
