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

Brain metastases are detected in 5% of patients with breast cancer at diagnosis. The rate of brain metastases is higher in HER2-positive and triple-negative breast cancer patients (TNBC). In patients with metastatic breast cancer, the risk of brain metastases is much higher, with up to 50% of the patients having two aggressive biological breast cancer subtypes. The prognosis for such patients is poor. Until recently, little was known about the response to systemic therapy in brain metastases. The number of trials dedicated to breast cancer with brain metastases was scarce. Our review summarizes the current knowledge on this topic including very significant results of clinical trials which have been presented very recently. We focus on the intracranial response rate of modern drugs, including new antibody-drug conjugates, HER2- targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors and other targeted therapies. We highlight the most effective and promising drugs. On the other hand, we also suggest that further efforts are needed to improve the prognosis, especially patients with TNBC and brain metastases. The information contained in this article can help oncologists make treatment-related decisions.
