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

objectiveThe phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathway is a promising treatment target for patients with breast cancer (BC). Our study aimed to evaluate the most effective and safe PI3K inhibitor for patients with BC, especially in PIK3CA mutation.

methodsElectronics databases were systematically searched from their inception to June 2020 for published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing PI3K inhibitor therapy versus non-PI3K inhibitor therapy in patients with BC that mentioned or reported data of PIK3CA-mutated patient subgroups. Eligible RCTs had to report at least one of the following clinical outcomes: objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), or adverse events (AE).

resultsNine eligible RCTs involving 3872 BC patients and four PI3K inhibitor therapy arms (i.e., alpelisib, buparlisib, pictilisib, and taselisib) were included. In evaluating ORR, beneficial significant results of PI3K inhibitors could be found in the PIK3CA mutated group (1.952, 1.012 to 3.766); analogous results could also be found in 6m-PFS (1.519, 1.144 to 2.018) and PFS from HR data (-0.346, -0.525 to -0.168). From pairwise and network meta-analyses, buparlisib showed the most favorable ORR, as it was significantly different from fulvestrant in the PIK3CA-mutated patient group (2.80, 1.56 to 5.03). Alpelisib ranked first in the assessment of 6m-PFS and was significantly different from fulvestrant in the PIK3CA-mutated group (2.33, 1.45 to 3.44). The above PI3K inhibitors had good safety with few serious AEs. PROSPERO registration CRD42020193932.

conclusionThe PI3K inhibitors alpelisib and buparlisib appear to have superior efficacy and safety therapeutic choices for patients with BC, especially in PIK3CA-mutated patients.
