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: HER2-positive breast cancer is one of the high-risk subtypes of breast cancer for which dual-targeted therapy has become an important treatment option. However, for some patients, complete control of the disease is still not possible and additional treatment is required. Pyrrolitinib, an inhibitor of ALK and MET, has shown promising efficacy in breast cancer treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of adjuvant intensive therapy with pyrrolitinib in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer tumors. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight patients with HER2-positive breast cancer who were treated at the Breast Surgery Department of the Provincial Hospital of Weihai City, Shandong Province, China, between January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2023, were selected for this study. All of these patients received dual-targeted therapy with the addition of pyrrolitinib therapy adjuvant intensive therapy. We recorded data on the patients' basic information, pathological characteristics, treatment regimens, effects of treatment regimens, and adverse reactions, and statistically analyzed them. Results: Of the 28 patients with HER2-positive breast cancer, all of them were added to adjuvant intensive therapy with pyrrolitinib. After examination of the samples during treatment, the breast cancer mass had been significantly reduced with the assistance of pyrrolitinib. In addition, no serious adverse reactions were found. Conclusion: Adjuvant intensification of pyrrolitinib in the treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer tumors is feasible. The results of this study suggest that pyrrolitinib is a safe and effective therapeutic option that can significantly improve the outcome of HER2-positive breast cancer. More studies are needed to further validate this finding.
