Analysis of the Effect of Trastuzumab Combined with Docetaxel on Serum Tumor Markers in the Treatment of HER-2 Positive Breast Cancer and Factors Influencing Therapeutic Efficacy.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveTo explore the influence of trastuzumab (TZ) combined with docetaxel (DTX) on serum tumor markers (TMs) in the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER-2+) breast cancer (BC) and to analyze the factors influencing therapeutic efficacy.
methodsNinety-six patients with HER-2+ BC treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University Of Science and Technology from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected. According to different treatment plans, the patients were divided into two arms with 48 cases each. The control group (CG) was treated with DTX, and the research group (RG) was given TZ combined with DTX (TZ+DTX). The two arms were compared regarding the following aspects: curative effects, adverse reaction, alterations of TMs and inflammatory factors (IFs), and quality of life. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors affecting the efficacy of patients.
resultsAfter treatment, the TMs carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen (CA)125 and CA15-3 were significantly lower in RG compared with CG. The levels of IFs C-reactive protein (CRP) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were also lower in CG. The overall response rate and the Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score were significantly higher in RG. No evident difference was observed in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the two arms. The high expression of CEA, CA125 and CA15-3 as well as DTX monotherapy increased the risk of adverse prognosis.
conclusionTZ+DTX can effectively improve the clinical efficacy of HER-2+ BC patients and reduce their levels of serum TMs and IFs.
