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

backgroundThis prospective real-world study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of eribulin in the clinical practice against advanced breast cancer (ABC) in China. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn this study, eligible patients with inoperable locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer who had experienced prior neo-/adjuvant or failed the palliative treatment with anthracycline/taxanes were included. Eribulin (1.4 mg/m

resultsOne hundred and thirty-four patients were enrolled. The median PFS (mPFS) was 4.3 months (95% CI: 0.3-15.4). The ORR and DCR was 32.1% and 79.1%, respectively. The mPFS of patients who received eribulin as first- or second-line treatment was significantly better than those who received eribulin as ≥3-line treatment (6.9 months [95% CI: 3.2-8.8] vs. 4.0 months [95% CI: 3.4-4.6], p = 0.006). The mPFS of patients with triple-negative, HER2-positive, and HER2(-)/HR(+) was 3.4 (95% CI: 2.7-4.1), 6.2 (95% CI: 2.3-10.1) and 5.0 months (95% CI: 4.1-5.9), respectively. HER2(+) patients had significantly longer PFS than TNBC patients (p = 0.022). Patients received combination therapy had a significantly longer mPFS than those who received eribulin monotherapy (5.0 months [95% CI 3.6-6.3] vs. 4.0 months [95% CI: 3.3-4.7] [p = 0.016]). Multivariate analysis revealed that MBC patients with a molecular typing of non-TNBC receiving eribulin as ≤2-line therapy and combination therapy had a low risk of disease progression. Neutropenia (33.58%), leukopenia (11.94%), and thrombocytopenia (4.48%) were the most common treatment-related adverse events.

conclusionEribulin demonstrated effective clinical activity and a favorable tolerability profile in Chinese patients with ABC in the real-world. The efficacy and safety profile were consistent with those reported in previous randomized phase 3 trials.
