Anti-HER2 Drugs for the Treatment of Advanced HER2 Positive Breast Cancer.
Review in Current treatment options in oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 46 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
opinion statementApproximately 15-20% of breast cancers (BC) demonstrate HER2 overexpression/gene amplification. Historically, before the era of HER2-directed therapies, this subtype was associated with poor prognosis. Anti-HER2 agents dramatically changed the natural course of disease and significantly prolonged patients' survival. In recent years, a number of new anti-HER2 therapies have been developed, and their approvals offer new therapeutic options for patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer. At present, HER2 pathway blocking drugs used in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer worldwide include trastuzumab and pertuzumab in the first-line treatment; trastuzumab deruxtecan and trastuzumab emtansine in the second line; and tucatinib, neratinib, lapatinib, and margetuximab in further lines of treatment of advanced HER2 positive breast cancer. Additionally, there are many clinical trials underway evaluating drugs blocking the HER2 pathway in advanced disease setting. This article presents new treatment options, discussing the most important findings from clinical trials and real-world reports, clinical benefits and risks of treatment, as well as efficacy of re-treatment with trastuzumab in metastatic breast cancer. New data challenge the current standards, and a number of questions arise regarding the optimal sequence of anti-HER2 targeted therapies, the optimal combination, including endocrine agents in luminal HER2 positive tumors and treatment of special patient population such as patients with brain metastases (BM).
