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

HER2-positive breast cancer patients carrying the germline TSC2 nonsynonymous variant c.4349 C > G (p.Pro1450Arg) are resistant to anti-HER2 therapy. Multi-predictor in silico analysis reveals that this variant is deleterious. We explore the potential mechanism of this TSC2 variant and investigate methods for overcoming anti-HER2 resistance. TSC2 c.4349 C > G reverses the inhibitory effect on mTOR and downstream signaling by increasing TSC2 phosphorylation at Thr1462 and confers significant lapatinib resistance in vitro and in vivo. The combination of lapatinib and the CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib inhibits cyclin D1/CDK4/Rb alternative pathway and TSC2 phosphorylation, thereby partially attenuating mTOR activity and inducing TSC2-mutant cell blockage at G1/G0. In in vitro and xenograft models, palbociclib+lapatinib shows higher anti-tumor activity than monotherapy and overcomes the resistance of the TSC2 c.4349 C > G-related variant to anti-HER2 therapy. We reveal a new mechanism of resistance to anti-HER2 therapy and provide a strategy to increase the efficiency of anti-HER2 therapy in HER2-positive breast cancer.
