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

The management of human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-positive breast cancer has improved over the past decade. However, despite improvements in systemic control, a substantial proportion of patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer suffer from central nervous system metastases and even intracranial progression after aggressive local treatment. There is paucity of data and no consensus on the systemic therapies for patients with intracranial progression. This review discusses both local and systemic treatments for HER2-positive breast cancer with brain metastases with a special focus on the response of central nervous system metastases. A recommended practical treatment algorithm to guide physicians in selecting the most appropriate anti-HER2 therapy for their patients is suggested.
