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

The development of trastuzumab has significantly improved the prognosis of HER2-positive breast cancer. However, disease recurs in some patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. A new strategy for treating HER2-positive breast cancer is necessary. Although several studies have reported that HER3 is a prognostic factor for HER2-positive breast cancers, phosphorylated HER3 (pHER3) has not been well studied. There has been no survival analysis including immunohistochemistry with trastuzumab as the primary antibody. We analyzed immunohistochemistry using anti-pHER3 antibody and FITC-labeled trastuzumab (FITC-tra). Of 78 patients enrolled in the study, we could evaluate the immunohistochemistry for pHER3 in 71 cases and that for FITC-tra in 72 cases. Sixteen cases were positive for pHER3 (16/71, 22.5%), and 19 positive for FITC-tra (19/72, 26.4%). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significant association of pHER3 positivity (p = 0.011) but not HER3 positivity or FITC-tra positivity with disease-free survival. Therefore, immunohistochemical evaluation of pHER3 in HER2-positive breast cancer may provide a useful biomarker. An expanded study of pHER3 involving standardization of the pHER3 test to be encouraged.
