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

Targeting cell cycle has become the gold standard for metastatic breast cancer (MBC), being cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs) cornerstones of its treatment, alongside radiotherapy (RT). To date, no definite evidence regarding safety and efficacy of the combination of CDKIs plus radiotherapy (RT) is currently available. Purpose of this review is to collect data in favor or against the feasibility of the association of CDKIs + RT, describing its potential adverse events. Our review shows how CDKI + RT allows an overall satisfying disease control, proving to be effective and causing a grade of toxicity mainly influenced by the site of irradiation, leaning to favourable outcomes for sites as liver, spine or brain and to poorer outcomes for thoracic lesions or sites close to viscera; controversial evidence is instead for bone treatment. Toxicity also varies from patient to patient. To sum up, our contribution enriches and enlightens a still indefinite field regarding the feasibility of CDKIs + RT, giving cues for innovative clinical management of hormone-responsive MBC.
