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

We sought to investigate the impact of hormone receptor (HR) status and distant recurrence-free interval (DRFI) on the degree of overall survival (OS) benefit from palliative trastuzumab-containing treatment in HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Here, we retrospectively identified 588 eligible HER2-positive patients with postoperative distant recurrence. DRFI of HR+HER2+ MBC patients (median: 30.7 months, IQR: 18.5-45.9, P < 0.001) was significant longer compared with HR-HER2+ patients. Patients were categorized into four subgroups based on HR status and palliative trastuzumab (trast+) received. The most superior outcome was observed in the HR+HER2+trast+ subgroup, with a median OS of 48.3 months. Moreover, DRFI > 24 months is an independent favourable prognostic factor for both HR-HER2+ patients (Hazard Ratio (HzR) = 0.55, 95% CI: 0.39-0.76, P < 0.001) and HR+HER2+ patients (HzR = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.32-0.64, P  <  0.001). Upon further analysis of the interaction between trastuzumab and DRFI, the degree of trastuzumab benefits in HR-HER2+ MBC patients remained basically unchanged regardless of DRFI length. Unlikely, the degree in HR+HER2+ MBC patients decreased gradually along with DRFI extending, indicating that trastuzumab failed to translate into an OS benefit for late recurrent (DRFI > 5years) HR+HER2+ MBC patients.
