HSP90 Inhibitor, 17-DMAG, Alone and in Combination with Lapatinib Attenuates Acquired Lapatinib-Resistance in ER-positive, HER2-Overexpressing Breast Cancer Cell Line.
Article in Cancers, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Lapatinib, a Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-targeting therapy in HER2-overexpressing breast cancer, has been widely used clinically, but the prognosis is still poor because most patients acquire resistance. Therefore, we investigated mechanisms related to lapatinib resistance to evaluate new therapeutic targets that may overcome resistance. Lapatinib-resistant cell lines were established using SKBR3 and BT474 cells. We evaluated cell viability and cell signal changes, gene expression and protein changes. In the xenograft mouse model, anti-tumor effects were evaluated using drugs. Analysis of the protein interaction network in two resistant cell lines with different lapatinib resistance mechanisms showed that HSP90 protein was commonly increased. When Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) inhibitors were administered alone to both resistant cell lines, cell proliferation and protein expression were effectively inhibited. However, inhibition of cell proliferation and protein expression with a combination of lapatinib and HSP90 inhibitors showed a more synergistic effect in the LR-BT474 cell line than the LR-SKBR3 cell line, and the same result was exhibited with the xenograft model. These results suggest that HSP90 inhibitors in patients with lapatinib-resistant Estrogen Receptor (ER) (+) HER2 (+) breast cancer are promising therapeutics for future clinical trials.
