Docetaxel plus S-1 versus docetaxel plus capecitabine as first-line treatment for advanced breast cancer patients: a prospective randomized phase II study.
Article in Journal of the National Cancer Center, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02947061 (S1 Plus Docetaxel Versus Capecitabine Plus Docetaxel First-line Treatment in Patients With Advanced Breast Cancer), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of docetaxel/S-1 (TS) compared with docetaxel/capecitabine (TX) as a first-line treatment for advanced breast cancer. Methods: Patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer were randomly divided into the TS group (n = 54) and the TX group (n = 57) for first-line chemotherapy from August 2015 to April 2019 (ClinicalTrials.org registration no. NCT02947061). Following the completion of combination therapy, patients without progression received S-1 or capecitabine maintenance treatment. The primary end point was progression-free survival (PFS). Results: Among 111 enrolled patients, the median PFS did not differ significantly between the TS group and the TX group (TS vs. TX, 9.0 vs. 7.4 months, Conclusions: The TS and TX regimens demonstrated similar efficacy and safety for the first-line treatment of advanced breast cancer. The TS regimen had fewer cases of severe hand-foot syndrome than the TX regimen, representing an effective alternative option to the TX regimen. Further studies are warranted to define the efficacy and safety of this strategy in real-world settings.
