HER2/neu 655 polymorphism, trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity, and survival in HER2-positive breast cancer patients.

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
purposeHER2 overexpression in breast cancer correlates with poor outcomes. The incorporation of Trastuzumab into the treatment regimen has notably improved patient prognoses. However, cardiotoxicity emerges in approximately 20% of patients treated with the drug. This study aims to investigate the association between the HER2 655 A > G polymorphism, Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity, and patient survival.
methodsThe study involved 88 patients treated with Trastuzumab. Cardiotoxicity, defined as a reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) from baseline or the emergence of clinical signs of congestive heart failure, was identified during treatment follow-up. Genotyping of HER2 655 A > G employed TaqMan SNP technology.
resultsGenotype frequencies of HER2/neu 655 (53 AA, 32 AG, and 3 GG) were consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. No significant differences were observed in mean baseline LVEF between patients who developed cardiotoxicity and those who did not. Within these groups, neither AA nor AG genotypes showed an association with changes in mean baseline or reduced LVEF levels. Logistic regression analysis, adjusted for hormonal status and anthracycline treatment, revealed that AG genotype carriers face a significantly higher risk of cardiotoxicity compared to AA carriers (OR = 4.42; p = 0.037). No association was found between the HER2/neu 655 A > G polymorphism and disease-free or overall survival, regardless of whether the data was adjusted for stage or not.
conclusionHER2 655 A > G polymorphism is significantly linked to an increased risk of Trastuzumab-induced cardiotoxicity but does not correlate with variations in disease-free survival or overall survival rates.
