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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a particularly aggressive breast cancer subtype, characterised by a higher incidence in younger women, rapid metastasis, and a generally poor prognosis. Patients with TNBC and BRCA mutations face additional therapeutic challenges due to the cancer's intrinsic resistance to conventional therapies. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) have emerged as a promising targeted treatment for BRCA-mutated TNBC, exploiting vulnerabilities in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway. However, despite initial success, the efficacy of PARPis is often compromised by the development of resistance mechanisms, including HRR restoration, stabilisation of replication forks, reduced PARP1 trapping, and drug efflux. This review explores latest breakthroughs in overcoming PARPi resistance through combination therapies. These strategies include the integration of PARPis with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, antibody-drug conjugates, and PI3K/AKT pathway inhibitors. These combinations aim to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of PARPis by targeting multiple cancer progression pathways. The review also discusses the evolving role of PARPis within the broader treatment paradigm for BRCA-mutated TNBC, emphasising the need for ongoing research and clinical trials to optimise combination strategies. By tackling the challenges associated with PARPi resistance and exploring novel combination therapies, this review sheds light on the future possibilities for improving outcomes for patients with BRCA-mutated TNBC.
