A comparison of fulvestrant plus a targeted agent with fulvestrant alone in hormone receptor-positive advanced breast cancer that progressed on prior endocrine therapy: a meta-analysis.
Review in OncoTargets and therapy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Fulvestrant is recommended for the hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients progressed during or after prior endocrine therapy. Notably, recent evidence has also demonstrated that adding a targeted agent to fulvestrant conferred a significantly clinical benefit in these patients. Since these results were inconsistent among the studies, this meta-analysis herein was conducted to compare the efficacy and toxicities of the fulvestrant-based combination therapy with fulvestrant monotherapy. Thus, a systemic research was performed in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library to identify relevant Phase II or Phase III randomized controlled trials. The progression-free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and toxicities were evaluated. And HR, risk ratio (RR), and their 95% CIs were employed to complete the pooled analyses. In total, 13 studies with 3,910-hour positive MBC patients progressed on prior endocrine therapy were included in our meta-analysis. Improvements of doublet-agents group were proven in terms of PFS (HR 0.73, 95% CI =0.63-0.86,
