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

backgroundRecently, immunotherapy has been used to treat metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC). Basic research has indicated a relation between tumor heterogeneity and the immune response. Tumor heterogeneity derived from

methodsWe enrolled mTNBC patients who received immunotherapy (PD-1/PD-L1 antibody) plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment and underwent

resultsA total of 32 patients were enrolled and analyzed in this trial. A significantly longer median PFS was observed in the low SUVmax group than in the high SUVmax group (9.4 vs. 5.8 months, HR = 0.3, 95% CI 0.1-0.9, p = 0.025). The median PFS of low-IATH patients was significantly longer than that of high-IATH patients (HR = 0.3, 95% CI 0.1-0.8, p = 0.022). Similarly, patients with low IETH had significantly longer PFS than patients with high IETH (9.4 vs. 4.9 months, HR = 0.3, 95% CI 0.1-0.7, p = 0.01). Multivariate analysis demonstrated IETH as an independent predictor of PFS.

conclusionsThis study proposed a novel method to assess intratumor and intertumor heterogeneity among metastatic breast cancer patients and determined that baseline IETH derived from
