A study of the efficacy and tolerability of capecitabine and lobaplatin in advanced HER-2 negative breast cancer patients.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 study sought to examine the efficacy and adverse reactions of capecitabine and lobaplatin in the treatment of metastatic human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) negative breast cancer (BC).
methodsThis retrospective study examined 45 patients diagnosed with advanced HER-2 negative BC. Patients were enrolled in this study from November 2015 to June 2019. The patients received capecitabine and lobaplatin combination therapy. The therapeutic efficacy and side effects were evaluated after at least 2 cycles of treatment.
resultsTherapeutic efficacy and adverse reactions were evaluated in 38 patients, comprising 12 cases of partial response (PR), 19 cases of stable disease (SD), and 7 cases of progressive disease (PD). Among these, 3 patients required treatment delays or dose reductions for subsequent cycles, and 2 patients discontinued treatment. The overall response rate (ORR) was 31.58% and the disease control rate (DCR) was 81.58%. The ORR and DCR for hormone receptor positive, HER-2 negative (HR+/HER-2-) and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients were 31.82% and 31.25%, and 86.36% and 75%, respectively. The median progression free survival (PFS) was 8 months, 6 months, and 6 months in patients receiving the therapeutics as a first-line, second-line, or third-line and beyond treatment, respectively. The main side effects were myelosuppression, including granulocytopenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia. Among patients with grade 1 side effects or above, 28 patients (73.68%) had myelosuppression, and 13 patients (34.21%) had gastrointestinal reactions. Further, we investigated the association between side effects and clinical outcomes, and found that PFS was increased in patients with myelosuppression and gastrointestinal reactions.
conclusionsCapecitabine and lobaplatin combination therapy was effective and well tolerated among patients with advanced HER-2 negative BC.
