The other side of the coin: dissecting molecular mechanisms behind hereditary breast cancer in search of therapeutic opportunities.
Article in Translational oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Over the last quarter century several genetic alterations have been implicated in hereditary breast cancer (HBC). Two papers recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine explored the mutation prevalence in breast cancer predisposition genes across a large population of affected and unaffected subjects. These analyses designated ATM, BARD1, BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2, PALB2, RAD51C and RAD51D as the core set of genes associated with a significantly increased risk of developing breast cancer. A deeper understanding of the biological role of these genes unearths an intricate mechanism involving DNA repair and cell cycle regulation. Exploiting these inherited alterations for targeted treatments, as is currently the case with PARP inhibitors, may provide additional therapeutic opportunities for HBC patients.
