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

purposeTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous disease. We previously showed that homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and the DNA damage immune response (DDIR) signature are prognostic in TNBC. We hypothesized that these biomarkers reflect related but not completely interdependent biological processes, that their combined use would be prognostic, and that simultaneous assessment of the immunologic microenvironment and susceptibility to DNA damaging therapies might be able to identify subgroups with distinct therapeutic vulnerabilities.

methodsWe analyzed the dual DDIR/HRD classification in 341 patients with TNBC treated with adjuvant anthracycline-based chemotherapy on the SWOG S9313 trial and corroborated our findings in The Cancer Genome Atlas breast cancer data set.

resultsDDIR/HRD classification is highly prognostic in TNBC and identifies biologically and immunologically distinct subgroups. Immune-enriched DDIR+/HRD+ TNBCs have the most favorable prognosis, and DDIR+/HRD- and DDIR-/HRD+ TNBCs have favorable intermediate prognosis, despite the latter being immune-depleted. DDIR-/HRD- TNBCs have the worst prognosis and represent an internally heterogeneous group of immune-depleted chemoresistant tumors.

conclusionOur findings propose DDIR/HRD classification as a potentially clinically relevant approach to categorize tumors on the basis of therapeutic vulnerabilities.
