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

rationaleBrain metastasis (BM) is a rising challenge in forward-looking oncology, as its treatment choices are very limited, especially, after the failure of local treatment schemes. PATIENT CONCERNS: We report on a 39-year-old Chinese woman who was diagnosed with stage IV triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC) with multiple brain, lung, and bone metastases. She had previously, undergone whole-brain radiation therapy. Paclitaxel, platinum, UTD1, capecitabine, gemcitabine, vinorelbine, and single-agent apatinib were then administered as first- to fifth-line therapies. She exhibited progression each time after a short period of disease stabilization. DIAGNOSES: Triple-negative breast cancer.

interventionsThe patient chose treatment with apatinib+CPT-11+S-1 as the sixth-line therapy. OUTCOMES: A remarkable response of the brain, and lung metastases, and alleviation of the brain edema were achieved, and these effects persisted for 7 months. LESSONS: We describe the significant anti-tumor effect of apatinib + CPT-11 + S-1 against BMs from breast cancer. This report is the first to suggest potential approaches to BM treatment using this scheme and describes the effects of an apatinib-containing regimen on BMs.
