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

Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is the most life-threatening disease in women worldwide. HER2-mutated breast carcinoma has been reported to benefit from HER2-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors recently. Here, we presented a heavy pretreated and harbored HER2 V777L mutation de novo stage IV Luminal B (HER2 unamplified) breast cancer patient who achieved an unexpected good response to trastuzumab combined with vinorelbine therapy. Although HER2-unamplified MBC patients do not regularly benefit from anti-HER2 target therapy, HER2 V777L mutation detected by next-generation sequencing from ctDNA may present as a predictive biomarker for anti-HER2-based strategy therapy in HER2-negative MBC patients.
