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 current therapeutic landscape of luminal human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative metastatic breast cancer (mBC) is fundamentally evolving, particularly in the advent of molecularly targeted therapies, such as inhibitors of mammalian target of rapamycin and cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6). In the context of CDK4/6 inhibitors, landmark clinical trials for palbociclib (PALOMA-1, PALOMA-2, PALOMA-3), ribociclib (MONALEESA-2, MONALEESA-3, MONALEESA-7) and abemaciclib (MONARCH-1, MONARCH-2, MONARCH-3) have provided solid data regarding progression-free survival and overall response rate, justifying the introduction of this class of drugs into our therapeutic armoury. However, several clinical questions remain open. One of the most relevant issues faced in practice is that of the optimum sequencing of CDK4/6 inhibitors, particularly given the wide range of therapeutic options open to clinicians treating luminal mBC. In this brief commentary, we would like to focus on the best sequence for CDK4/6 inhibitors and their place in this growing, complex scenario.
