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

Metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease with a poor prognosis and currently with few treatment options. Treatment of these patients is highly based on systemic chemotherapy. Some targeted drugs were recently approved for these patients: two poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors in patients with germline BRCA1/2 mutations (olaparib and talazoparib), immune checkpoint inhibitors in association with chemotherapy if programmed death-ligand 1 positive (atezolizumab plus nabpaclitaxel and pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy [nabpaclitaxel, paclitaxel, and carboplatin plus gemcitabine]), and an antibody-drug conjugate sacituzumab-govitecan in heavily pretreated patients (at least 2 previous lines for the metastatic setting). Combinations using these and other targeted treatment options are under investigation in early and late clinical trials, and we will probably have some practice-changing results in the new future. Other targeted drugs explored in phase II and phase III clinical trials are PI3K/AKT pathway inhibitors and androgen receptor antagonists in patients with alterations in these signaling pathways. The definition of molecular subtypes has been essential for the development of these treatment strategies. Soon, the treatment of metastatic TNBC could be based on personalized medicine using molecular testing for targeted drugs instead of only systemic chemotherapy. The authors present a review of emerging treatment options in metastatic TNBC, focusing on targeted drugs, including the recent data published in 2020.
