Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05425550 (Evaluation of the Medidux™ Digital Health Application in Patients With HER2-positive Breast Cancer During Chemotherapy in Combination With HER2-targeted Therapy), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

Effective treatment options are still scarce for metastatic triple-negative breast cancers. An increasing interest in the mutational landscape of this disease will facilitate novel therapeutic strategies in a variety of cancers. Here we report the case of a 38-year-old female patient who developed multiple lung metastasis of a triple-negative breast cancer 2 years after the completion of local therapy. When she progressed after two palliative chemotherapy lines and local electroporation, a next-generation sequencing revealed a BRAF V600E mutation for which we initiated therapy with the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib. Radiological improvement was already evident after 3 months and has been ongoing for 19 months so far with very few side effects, as is demonstrated by electronically captured patient-reported outcomes. To our knowledge, this is the first published case where a BRAF V600E-mutated advanced triple-negative breast cancer was successfully treated with vemurafenib.
