Review in Therapeutic advances in medical oncology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

backgroundThe objective of this study was to review the pharmacology, efficacy, and safety of palbociclib, a first-in-class cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor, for the management of advanced breast cancer (ABC).

methodsPharmacokinetics and drug interactions associated with palbociclib are described. Recent clinical trial data are reviewed, including patient-reported outcomes and subgroup analyses.

resultsPalbociclib is indicated in combination with an aromatase inhibitor as initial endocrine therapy (ET) or with fulvestrant for patients with disease progression following ET for hormone receptor positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 negative ABC or metastatic breast cancer. Palbociclib inhibits cyclin-dependent kinases 4/6, resulting in a blockade of phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein, which hinders the activation of transcription factors involved in S-phase entry, thereby arresting cell cycle progression at G1 phase. The efficacy and safety of palbociclib in combination with ET was established in three randomized trials (PALOMA-1, -2, and -3); all studies met their primary endpoint of significantly prolonging investigator-assessed progression-free survival

conclusionsPalbociclib in combination with ET improved progression-free survival and QoL in patients with ABC, including in several patient subgroups.
