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

backgroundTrastuzumab-based therapies are the therapeutic option for HER2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer. HER2 amplification is the only biomarker validated for trastuzumab-based therapies. However, a proportion of tumors become refractory during treatment course. For this reason, the finding of new biomarkers beyond HER2 overexpression to identify patients who would benefit most from trastuzumab regimens is of outstanding importance.

methodsModels of trastuzumab-resistant or hypersensitive cells were generated by exposure to trastuzumab. Cell surface, total HER2, and analyses of proteins involved in cell cycle or apoptosis were analyzed by western blotting. Cell proliferation was analyzed by cell counting, cell cycle and apoptosis was evaluated by FACS. Transcriptomic characterization of the cellular models was performed using bioinformatic online tools, and clinico-genomic analyses were performed using the PAMELA clinical trial data.

resultsBesides differing in sensitivities to trastuzumab, the different cellular models also showed distinct response to other anti-HER2 drugs (lapatinib, neratinib, pertuzumab and T-DM1) used in the clinic. That differential effect was not due to changes in cell surface, total or activated HER2. Trastuzumab caused important induction of cell death in hypersensitive cells but not in parental or resistant cells. Transcriptomic analyses of these cellular models together with querying of online databases allowed the identification of individual genes and gene signatures that predicted prognosis and trastuzumab response in HER2+ breast cancer patients.

conclusionThe identification of trastuzumab response biomarkers may be used to select patients particularly sensitive to facilitate the use of trastuzumab-based therapies and refine follow-up guidelines in patients with HER2+ tumors.
