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

Approximately 70% of breast cancers are estrogen-receptor positive. Tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors have been the mainstay of endocrine therapy and have improved breast cancer survival. However, a large number of patients experience disease recurrence either during or following completion of endocrine therapy. Recent improvements in our understanding of the various mechanisms underlying the development of endocrine resistance have led to a dramatic change in the landscape of current endocrine treatment with the introduction of new drugs targeting molecular pathways involved in endocrine resistance. Over the past years we have witnessed the use of combination endocrine therapy with mammalian target of rapamycin antagonists, whilst most recently the introduction of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors has significantly improved response to endocrine therapy. Whilst not a formal systematic review, this article will provide historical background and summarise key clinical trials and current strategies in both first-line and second-line endocrine therapy.
