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
Introduction: According to the latest global cancer data released by WHO in 2020, the incidence of breast cancer (BC) has been the most prevalent, and the mortality rate of female malignant tumor ranks the first. Methods: To evaluate toxicity and efficacy regarding oral Pyrotinib for elderly patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer (BC) in Xinjiang, 45 elderly patients having advanced HER2-positive BC with age ≥65 years and receiving Pyrotinib-based combined therapy from January 2019 to May 2021 in Xinjiang were enrolled in this study. PFS, CBR, ORR and drug-related adverse events (AE) of oral Pyrotinib in the patients were retrospectively analyzed. All 45 patients completed the efficacy evaluation. Results: Total ORR and CBR of the whole group was 37.8% and 77.8%, respectively. There were 14 patients with brain metastases (31.1%), with a median PFS of 6.8 months (95% CI: 5.4~9.8). In terms of the number of treatment lines, mPFS for line 1-2 was 8.3 months (95% CI: 6.3~11.4), and mPFS for line ≥3 was 3.3 months (95% CI: 2.7~5.1). At the final maintenance dose, mPFS at standard doses of 400mg, 320mg and 240mg were 9.1 months (95% CI: 4.1~9.5), 8.3 months (95% CI: 4.3~12.2) and 4.8 months (95% CI: 2.1~7.5), respectively. Discussion: Applying Pyrotinib in elderly patients, the main adverse reaction was diarrhea, accounting for 88.9% (40/45). Pyrotinib is safe and effective for elderly patients with advanced HER2 positive BC.
