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

Targeting of DNA repair pathway is the main therapeutic approach for BRCA1 and BRCA2 associated tumors, including breast cancer. BRCA1/2 genes play a pivotal role in HRR pathway. Mutations in BRCA1/2 leads to DDR deficiency, which cause the increasing of genome instability, thus rendering cancer cells vulnerable to inhibition of DNA repair related proteins, such as PARP1. Pre-clinical studies has demonstrated that cancer cells with BRCA1/2 deficient are sensitive to PARPi, which are an emerging class of small molecule drug. Several clinical trials demonstrated the promising efficacy of PARP inhibitors for BRCA1/2 mutated breast cancer patient through selectively induce synthetic lethality cancer cells. Currently, four PARP inhibitors had been approved by FDA for clinical use. PARPi demonstrated to improve progression-free survival, while resistance to PARPi is inevitable. In this review article, we highlighted the advances in the PARPi clinical trials, resistance mechanism and coping strategies in breast cancer patients. We also summarized the international guideline and recommendations on PARP inhibitor usage in breast cancer.
