Review in Journal of the advanced practitioner in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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

About 17% of women with breast cancer have locally advanced or metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, and 30% to 40% of women diagnosed with early-stage disease will eventually have recurrence. The majority of breast cancers express estrogen or progesterone receptors, and hormonal therapies (HTs) remain the treatment of choice for these cancers after the resection of primary tumors. In addition to their effectiveness, HTs often have fewer severe side effects compared with chemotherapies. As breast cancer recurs or progresses, however, it becomes less responsive to successive HT, and the duration of response decreases. Recent advances have identified specific combinations of HTs that can extend the duration of response in appropriate patients with advanced breast cancer. Furthermore, research into signaling pathways has led to the availability of targeted agents that improve efficacy and duration of response when used in combination with specific HTs. Despite their effectiveness and advantages, these combination therapies increase the burden of side effects and the care required for proper management. In addition, practitioners must educate patients about the increasing complexity regarding treatment decisions, and provide care as part of a patient-centered team that optimizes both the medical outcomes and quality of life of patients with breast cancer.
