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

Background Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX) and docetaxel (DOC) both demonstrated favorable efficacy as neoadjuvant therapy in breast cancer. We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of nab-PTX-based chemotherapy (nPBC) and DOC-based chemotherapy (DBC) as neoadjuvant therapy in patients with breast cancer. Methods Breast cancer patients who received neoadjuvant nPBC or DBC and underwent surgery from January 2018 to June 2020 were consecutively analyzed. Pathologic complete response (pCR) was defined as no residual invasive cells in the breast and axillary nodes (ypT0/is ypN0) after surgery. The pCR, clinical complete response (cCR), and safety profiles were assessed in the two groups. Results A total of 104 breast cancer patients were included in this study. Fourty one patients received nPBC, and 63 patients received DBC The pCR was 34.1% in the nPBC group and 12.7% in the DBC group. Additionally, the cCR was 36.6% in the nPBC group and 15.9% in the DBC group. Peripheral sensory neuropathy was more common in the nPBC group, while hematologic toxicity was observed more frequently in the DBC group. Conclusions This study presented antitumor activity of nPBC and DBC in patients with early breast cancer receiving neoadjuvant treatment in a real-world setting. Further prospective research is warranted to confirm the results and to develop biomarkers for better patient selection.
