Expanding treatment options for patients with HER2+ metastatic breast cancer with margetuximab plus chemotherapy: a case report series.

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
Background: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 protein (HER2)-positive (+) metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is an aggressive disease and patients often undergo multiple lines of therapy following HER2 targeted therapies. The most recent National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recommend margetuximab plus chemotherapy as fourth-line or later therapy for HER2+/hormone receptor (HR) + or negative (-) MBC. The aim of this case series is to provide information regarding margetuximab utilization in clinical practice as later-line therapy in women with HER2+ MBC. Case summaries: Margetuximab plus chemotherapy was used as fourth- or later-line treatment in patients who had received multiple HER2-targeted agents, including trastuzumab, pertuzumab, ado-trastuzumab emtansine, trastuzumab deruxtecan, tucatinib, and neratinib. Patients responded to margetuximab plus chemotherapy with real-world progression-free survival (PFS) of 3, 4, and 7 months. Conclusion: Clinical outcomes from three heavily pretreated patients with metastatic HER2+/HR+ MBC demonstrated that margetuximab plus chemotherapy resulted in real-world PFS comparable to that reported in the controlled pivotal clinical trial and support use of this targeted therapy option in appropriately identified patients.
