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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesTriple-negative breast cancer is difficult to treat due to the absence of hormone receptors and Her2neu. Sacituzumab govitecan is a new therapeutic approach that uses an antibody directed against the Trop-2 antigen present in solid epithelial tumors, linked to the active metabolite SN-38, similar to irinotecan, to specifically target cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells. The objective of the present review was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sacituzumab govitecan as a single treatment in patients with triple-negative breast cancer and to compare its results with the standard conventional chemotherapy regimen currently used in this disease.

methodsA systematic review of randomized clinical trials of sacituzumab govitecan was performed. The search was performed in Medline (PubMed), Web of Science, and Cochrane from September 2022 to January 2024.

resultsThirty-eight articles are included and evaluated according to inclusion and exclusion criteria corresponding to the two most relevant clinical trials, including specific analyses of cohorts and subgroup study arms within these trials. Data from more recent clinical trials are also reviewed.

conclusionsThe efficacy results showed a significantly greater clinical benefit with sacituzumab govitecan compared to standard chemotherapy in patients with triple-negative breast cancer. This drug will become a treatment of substantial impact in future treatment guidelines for this type of cancer.
