Article 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. It is linked to trial NCT01783756 (Phase 1b/2 Single-arm Trial Evaluating the Combination of Lapatinib, Everolimus and Capecitabine for the Treatment of Patients With HER2-positive Metastatic Breast Cancer With CNS Progression After Trastuzumab), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
backgroundImproving outcomes for patients with human epidermal growth factor 2-positive (HER2+) central nervous system (CNS) metastases remains an unmet clinical need. This trial evaluated a novel combination of everolimus, lapatinib and capecitabine for this disease.
methodsPatients with trastuzumab-pretreated, HER2+ breast cancer brain metastasis without prior therapy with a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor were eligible. Patients received lapatinib and everolimus daily (continuously) and capecitabine twice daily (d1-14) in 21-d cycles. The primary endpoint was the 12-week CNS objective response rate (ORR). Secondary endpoints included safety, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), best CNS ORR and extra-CNS ORR.
resultsA total of 19 participants were enrolled and treated with ⩾1 dose of the study drug. The median age was 58.5 years, the median number of therapies for metastatic breast cancer was 2.5 (0-11). Pretrial, 74% of participants had received prior lapatinib, capecitabine or both. A total of 63% had received previous CNS radiation or surgical resection and CNS radiation. The maximum tolerated doses were lapatinib at 1000 mg, everolimus at 10 mg, and capecitabine at 1000 mg/m
conclusionsThis novel triplet combination of lapatinib, everolimus, and capecitabine is well tolerated and yielded a 27% response rate in the CNS at 12 weeks in heavily pretreated participants. Larger studies are warranted to further evaluate this regimen.
