Clinical Use of PARP Inhibitors in BRCA Mutant and Non-BRCA Mutant Breast Cancer.
Article in Cancer treatment and research, 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
The use of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for the treatment of patients with germline BRCA mutations (gBRCAm) and breast cancer, both in the early and advanced settings, is a success of genomically-directed treatment. These agents have been shown to be associated with longer progression-free survival when compared to standard chemotherapy, with an acceptable toxicity profile. A recent randomized trial demonstrated improved survival with the use of olaparib for 2 years compared to placebo in patients with early-stage high risk gBRCAm associated breast cancer. Ongoing research efforts are focused on identifying patients beyond those with BRCA1/2 or PALB2 mutations who may benefit from PARP inhibitors, exploring the overlapping mechanisms of resistance between platinum and PARP inhibitors and developing agents with less toxicity that will allow combinational strategies.
