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

backgroundThis meta-analysis aimed to better elucidate the predictive value of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-enriched subtype of pathological complete response (pCR) rate within HER2-positive breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant treatment.

methodsWe identified prospective trials that evaluated the correlation between an HER2-enriched subtype and pCR rate in HER2-positive breast cancer. Pooled odds ratio (OR) values with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed.

resultsFifteen studies comprising 2,190 patients met the inclusion criteria. The HER2-enriched subtype was associated with increased odds of achieving a pCR (OR = 4.12, 95% CI = 3.38 to 5.03,

conclusionsThe HER2-enriched subtype can more effectively and specifically predict pCR for HER2-targeted agent-based neoadjuvant treatment, irrespective of the number (single or dual) or category of HER2-targeted agent, including chemotherapy and endocrine therapy, or hormone receptor in cases of HER2-positive breast cancer.
