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

Globally over 2 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year despite major advances in detection and treatment of the disease. Breast cancer is comprised of several distinct subtypes and understanding the heterogeneity of the disease has become crucial for treatment planning. Therapeutic strategies span from a hormone therapy-based focus for women with estrogen receptor positive breast cancer to targeting human epidermal growth factor (HER2) by small molecules, antibody-drug-conjugates (ADC) and monoclonal antibodies in those with HER2 overexpression. Other novel treatment strategies for select subgroups of patients include the cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors for women with estrogen receptor positive tumors, the poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for those with BRCA mutations, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors for women with tumors harboring phophatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3 kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) mutations. In contrast, the treatment for women with triple negative breast cancer has until recently been solely limited to chemotherapy. The profound impact of immunotherapy on cancer treatment in general has created much hope for its potential in breast cancer. This review will focus on the current advances and the research of immunotherapy in breast cancer, particularly on immune checkpoint inhibitors, adoptive cell transfer and cancer vaccines.
