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

backgroundEverolimus combined with endocrine therapy has been proved to be effective among postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (HR+/HER2-) metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of everolimus plus endocrine therapy in Chinese real-world practice for the first time, and investigate factors associated with efficacy.

methodsSeventy-five HR+/HER2- MBC patients were included in this retrospective study who received everolimus plus endocrine therapy after progression on prior endocrine therapy in Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center (FUSCC) between June 2013 and February 2016. Main outcome measures are progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR) and safety profile.

resultsAfter a median follow up of 10.3 (range: 2.1-32.2) months, median PFS was 5.9 months (95%CI 4.6-7.2), and median OS was not reached. The CBR was 38.8% (95%CI, 26.8-50.8) and ORR was 9.0% (95%CI, 2.0-16.0). Most common all-grade adverse events were stomatitis (57.1%), fatigue (25.7%), infection (24.3%) and hyperglycemia (21.4%). The most common ≥3 grade adverse events were stomatitis (9.3 %) and thrombocytopenia (5.7%). No treatment-related death was documented during and one month after the drug administration.

conclusionsThe combination of everolimus and endocrine therapy proved to be effective in Chinese population. The safety profiles were similar to previous studies but incidences were lower. In conclusion, everolimus combined with endocrine therapy provides a reasonable option for Chinese HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer patients.
