Targeted neoadjuvant therapy in the HER-2-positive breast cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
aimTo evaluate efficacy and safety of lapatinib or trastuzumab alone or both plus chemotherapy for the treatment of breast cancer patients with positive HER-2 expression.
methodsCochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, MEDLINE, OVID, Embase, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and China Academic Journals Database were searched from 1994 through December 2017 using the keywords "breast cancer", "preoperative", "neo-adjuvant", "lapatinib", "pertuzumab", "Herceptin", and "trastuzumab".
resultsMeta-analysis found that pathological complete response (PCR; risk ratio [RR]=0.82, 95% CI: 0.72-0.93) and tall PCR (tPCR; RR=0.77, 95% CI: 0.67-0.88) of chemotherapy plus lapatinib were significantly less effective or safe compared to that of chemotherapy plus trastuzumab (
conclusionEfficacy of lapatinib was less than that of trastuzumab, but incidence of adverse effect of lapatinib was higher than that of trastuzumab. Combination of chemotherapy plus both lapatinib and trastuzumab could significantly increase PCR and tPCR in breast cancer patients, but rate of breast conservation, event-free survival, and overall survival was not significantly improved. Incidence of diarrhea, hepatic toxicity, and skin rash was significantly increased in the groups using lapatinib.
