Efficacy of everolimus-based therapy in advanced triple-positive breast cancer: Experience from three cancer centers in China.
Article in Thoracic cancer, 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
backgroundTriple-positive breast cancer (TPBC) is highly invasive and lacks well-established treatment strategies, especially in patients with advanced stage disease. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of everolimus in patients with metastatic TPBC (mTPBC) in a multicenter real-world setting.
methodsA total of 2518 cancer patients who received everolimus-based therapy were enrolled from three cancer institutes in China from 2014 to 2022. Their clinicopathological characteristics were collected from medical records. The indicators for the efficacy of everolimus were progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR) and clinical benefit rate (CBR).
resultsWe collected 79 HER2-enriched patients that were treated with everolimus-based therapy, 43 of whom were mTPBC. The most commonly used therapeutic combinations was everolimus plus endocrine therapy (18/43, 41.9%). Among all combinations, everolimus plus chemotherapy plus trastuzumab developed the longest PFS of 10.9 months (95% CI: 1.5-20.3). Seventeen patients (32.6%) with mTPBC received everolimus as frontline treatment (1 L/2 L/3 L, FL), and 26 patients (67.4%) as backline treatment (>3 L, BL). Among all the population, the median PFS for everolimus was 4.5 months (range: 3.0-6.0), ORR was 30.2%, and CBR was 48.8%. PFS
conclusionEverolimus as frontline treatment achieves clinical benefits for Chinese patients with mTPBC, which may provide some references for the management of Chinese mTPBC patients.
