PARP inhibitors in breast cancer: Bringing synthetic lethality to the bedside.
Review in Cancer, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 90 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Individuals with breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) or BRCA2 germline mutations have a significantly increased lifetime risk for breast and ovarian cancers. BRCA-mutant cancer cells have abnormal homologous recombination (HR) repair of DNA. In these tumors, the base excision repair (BER) pathway is important for cell survival. The poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes play a key role in BER, and PARP inhibitors are effective in causing cell death in BRCA-mutant cells while sparing normal cells-a concept called synthetic lethality. PARP inhibitors are the first cancer therapeutics designed to exploit synthetic lethality. Recent clinical trials in BRCA-mutant, metastatic breast cancer demonstrated improved outcomes with single-agent PARP inhibitors (olaparib and talazoparib) over chemotherapy. However, resistance to PARP inhibitors remains a challenge. Primarily due to myelosuppression, the combination of PARP inhibitors with chemotherapy has been difficult. Novel combinations with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other targeted therapies are being pursued. In this review, the authors discuss current knowledge of PARP inhibitors in BRCA-mutant breast cancer and potential future directions for these agents.
