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

Breast cancer is the most frequently occurring cancer among women worldwide. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2 or ErbB2) is overexpressed in between 20 and 25% of invasive breast cancers and is associated with poor prognosis. Trastuzumab, an anti-ErbB2 monoclonal antibody, reduces cancer recurrence and mortality in HER2-positive breast cancer patients, but unexpectedly induces cardiac dysfunction, especially when used in combination with anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Novel approved ErbB2-targeting drugs, including lapatinib, pertuzumab, and trastuzumab-emtansine, also potentially cause cardiotoxicity, although early clinical studies demonstrate their cardiac safety profile. Unfortunately, the mechanism involved in causing the cardiotoxicity is still not completely understood. In addition, the use of preventive interventions against trastuzumab-induced cardiac dysfunction, including angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and beta-blockers, remain controversial. Thus, this review aims to summarize and discuss the evidence currently available from in vitro, in vivo, and clinical studies regarding the mechanism and potential interventions associated with the cardiotoxicity of ErbB2-targeted drugs.
