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

Trastuzumab deruxtecan has been shown to have responses in heavily pretreated patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer. However, the safety of this medication in patients with severe liver dysfunction and untreated or symptomatic central nervous system metastases is unknown. We describe a patient with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer with liver failure and leptomeningeal metastases who was treated with dose-reduced trastuzumab deruxtecan. With treatment, the patient's hyperbilirubinemia resolved and she demonstrated a response on imaging. She was dose-escalated to full dose with minimal adverse events.
