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

The development of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) is widely considered a therapeutic milestone in the management of BRCA1/2-deficient malignancies. Since a growing number of cancer treatment guidelines include PARPis, the inevitably emerging PARPi resistance becomes a serious limitation that must be addressed. Targeting the DNA damage response signaling kinase, ATR (ataxia telangiectasia and rad3-related serine/threonine kinase), activated in response to PARPi-induced replication stress, represents a promising approach in fighting PARPi-resistant cancers. The success of this combination therapy in preclinical models has inspired efforts to translate its potential through extensive clinical research and clinical trials. However, the available clinical evidence suggests that PARPi/ATRi combinations have yet to reach their anticipated therapeutic potential. In this review, we summarize work elucidating mechanisms underpinning the effectiveness of ATRi in fighting PARPi resistance and review translational studies reporting efficacy in different types of cancer. Finally, we discuss potential biomarkers of patient selection for customized combinations of PARPi/ATRi treatments.
