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

purposeSacituzumab govitecan (SG) and trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) are antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) approved for the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Both carry topoisomerase-1-inhibiting payloads, and it is unknown whether these drugs retain activity when used sequentially.

methodsPatients who received both T-DXd and SG for treatment of MBC were eligible. The primary objective was to describe clinical outcomes and clinicogenomic characteristics associated with improved real-world progression-free survival (

resultsEighty-five patients were eligible. Regardless of which ADC was deployed first (

conclusionSequential ADC therapy with topoisomerase-1-inhibiting payloads is a viable treatment strategy in HER2-low MBC. These results have hypothesis-generating clinical and translational implications. Further studies are needed to better understand ADC cross-resistance as more of these agents enter our clinical armamentarium.
