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

backgroundDespite the poor prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) brain metastases, there are no approved systemic therapies. We explored the DNA-damaging poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) niraparib in intracranial mouse models of breast cancer susceptibility protein (BRCA)

methodsMice bearing intracranial human-derived TNBC cell lines (SUM149, MDA-MB-231Br, or MDA-MB-436) were treated with niraparib and monitored for survival; intracranial tissues were analyzed for PAR levels and niraparib concentration by mass spectrometry. RNASeq data of primary breast cancers using The Cancer Genome Atlas were analyzed for DNA damage signatures. Combined RAD51 and PARP inhibition in TNBC cell lines was assessed in vitro by colony-forming assays.

resultsDaily niraparib increased median survival and decreased tumor burden in the

conclusionsNiraparib penetrates intracranial tumor tissues in mouse models of TNBC with impressive single-agent efficacy in
