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

purpose of the reviewHistorically, systemic treatment options for patients with breast cancer brain metastases have been very limited. This review focuses on important considerations for systemic therapy as well as ongoing clinical trials evaluating novel agents. RECENT

findingsFor patients with hormone receptor-positive brain metastases, endocrine therapy or chemotherapy options can be considered. The role of CDK4/6 inhibitors is being explored in ongoing trials. Patients with HER2-positive disease have a number of treatment options, including ado-trastuzumab emtansine (TDM1) or lapatinib-capecitabine, and there is emerging evidence of the efficacy of neratinib- and tucatinib-based chemotherapy combinations in the CNS. Triple-negative tumors may respond to chemotherapy. Although much progress remains to be made, a number of effective systemic treatment options are emerging, particularly for patients with HER2-positive disease. Ongoing clinical trials will help define the role of novel agents.
