Review in Cancers, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07561346 (Clinico-pathological and Genomic Features of HER2-low Early Breast Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 86 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

For decades, HER2-positive breast cancer was associated with poor outcomes and higher mortality rates than other breast cancer subtypes. However, the advent of Trastuzumab (Herceptin) has significantly changed the treatment paradigm of patients afflicted with HER2-positive breast cancer. The discovery of newer HER2-targeted therapies, such as Pertuzumab (Perjeta), has further added to the armamentarium of treating HER2-positive breast cancers. This review highlights recent advancements in the treatment of HER2-positive diseases, including the newer HER2-targeted therapies and immunotherapies in clinical trials, which have paved (and will further update) the way for clinical practice, and become part of the standard of care in the neoadjuvant, adjuvant or metastatic setting.
