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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate efficacy and safety of eribulin in heavily pretreated patients with advanced breast cancer (BC) in a real-life setting.

methodsThis retrospective monocentric study included patients with HER-2-negative metastatic BC, pretreated with anthracyclines and taxanes, who were referred to the Oncology Department of Spedali Civili of Brescia from May 2012 to April 2017. Patients received the same dose of eribulin as that used in the EMBRACE trial: 1.4 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8 every 21 days.

resultsIn a total of 53 patients, 32% obtained a partial response, 11% a stable disease, and 43% a clinical benefit (CB). After a median follow-up of 36 months, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 4.7 months and median overall survival (OS) 13.53 months. Median PFS was significantly longer in patients who reported a CB compared to those with no CB, while survival outcomes (PFS and OS) were better in patients who received > 6 cycles of eribulin. Eribulin showed a good tolerability profile with acceptable toxicities, similar to those reported in EMBRACE.

conclusionsOur experience in a real-world setting confirms the activity, efficacy, and good tolerability profile of eribulin in heavily pretreated BC patients.
