Palbociclib in metastatic breast cancer: current evidence and real-life data.
Review in Drugs in context, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 55 papers, 3 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
The purpose of this review is to summarize the background and latest evidence for the use of palbociclib, an oral, first-in-class, highly selective cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitor, in advanced breast cancer, with a focus on some of the unanswered questions about the performance of this agent in clinical practice. The available clinical data from both controlled clinical trials and real-life experiences concerning palbociclib-based combinations in patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) metastatic disease, including patient-reported outcomes and subgroup analyses, have been reviewed and discussed. Palbociclib significantly improved progression-free survival and clinical benefit rates when added to letrozole in postmenopausal women as initial endocrine-based therapy, and it prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival when added to fulvestrant in women who progressed on previous endocrine therapy in randomized clinical trials. Tolerability profile was manageable, with neutropenia occurring most commonly, without detrimental impact on quality of life. Available data from real-life experiences confirm the good performance of palbociclib in unselected, heavily pretreated populations. Palbociclib in combination with endocrine therapy is a valuable emerging option for patients with HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Further investigation is needed to provide solutions for palbociclib resistance and to identify the best sequence to use for the best patient benefit with a minimal toxicity.
