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 growing importance of HER2 expression as a biomarker across multiple cancers is largely driven by advances in HER2-directed antibody-drug conjugates. The recent approval of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) as a tumor-agnostic therapy has revolutionized treatment strategies for HER2-overexpressed tumors beyond breast, gastric, and colorectal cancers (CRC). This mini-review explores the evolving role of assessing HER2 overexpression in pan-solid tumors, following the recent approval of T-DXd as a tumor-agnostic therapy. It examines how HER2 scoring criteria for pan-tumor indications rely on immunohistochemistry (IHC) assessment, which may be prone to subjective interpretation and interobserver variability, and how these criteria differ from those used in breast, gastric, and CRC tumors. We also address the potential for NGS approaches to identify
