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

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, manifesting in a broad differentiation in phenotypes and morphologic profiles, resulting in variable clinical behavior. Between 10 and 20% of all breast cancers are triple negative. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and hormone receptors; therefore, to date, chemotherapy remains the backbone of treatment. TNBC tends to be aggressive and has a high histological grade, resulting in a poor 5-year prognosis. It has a high prevalence of BRCA1 mutations and an increased Ki-67 expression. This subtype usually responds well to taxanes and/or platinum compounds and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. Studies with PARP inhibitors have demonstrated promising results in the treatment of BRCA-mutated breast and ovarian cancer, and PARP inhibitors have been studied as monotherapy and in combination with cytotoxic therapy or radiotherapy. PARP inhibitor efficacy on poly (ADP-ribose) polymer (PAR) formation in vivo can be quantified by pharmacodynamic assays that measure PAR activity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Biomarkers such as TP53, ATM, PALB2 and RAD51C might be prognostic or predictive indicators for treatment response, and could also provide targets for novel treatment strategies. In summary, this review provides an overview of the treatment options for basal-like TNBC, including PARP inhibitors, and focuses on the pharmacotherapeutic options in these patients.
