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

The management of HER2 positive breast cancer has been transformed by the development of targeted therapies. Dual blockade with the monoclonal antibodies, trastuzumab and pertuzumab, added to first-line taxane chemotherapy and second-line therapy with the antibody-drug conjugate, T-DM1, are internationally agreed standards of care for advanced HER2 positive breast cancer, where available. However, until recently, options for patients for third-line therapy and beyond were of modest efficacy or limited by toxicity. In 2019, the results of trials of two exciting new agents for this space were presented. A third-generation HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, tucatinib, combines the efficacy of the second-generation drug, neratinib, with a more manageable toxicity profile and has become a new standard of care after T-DM1, in combination with capecitabine and trastuzumab. The antibody-drug conjugate, trastuzumab deruxtecan, demonstrated remarkable efficacy in heavily pre-treated patients and received accelerated approval in the United States, whilst confirmatory Phase 3 trials are completed. This review will discuss the available data for the post-T-DM1 setting, focusing on tyrosine kinase inhibitors including tucatinib.
