Biology of breast cancer brain metastases and novel therapies targeting the blood brain barrier: an updated review.
Review in Medical oncology (Northwood, London, England), 2023. 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
Brain metastasis (BM) is a critical cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with breast cancer (BC). Compared with other cancer cells, BC cells (BCs) exhibit special features in the metastatic process. However, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear, especially the crosstalk between tumour cells and the microenvironment. To date, novel therapies for BM, including targeted therapy and antibody‒drug conjugates, have been developed. Due to an improved understanding of the blood‒brain barrier (BBB) and blood-tumour barrier (BTB), the development and testing of therapeutic agents in clinical phases have substantially increased. However, these therapies face a major challenge due to the low penetration of the BBB or BTB. As a result, researchers have increasingly focused on finding ways to promote drug penetration through these barriers. This review provides an updated overview of breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM) and summarizes the newly developed therapies for BCBM, especially drugs targeting the BBB or BTB.
