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

Objectives: To report a case of complete response to trastuzumab-deruxtecan (T-DXd) in a patient with HER2-positive stage IVB uterine carcinosarcoma, and to contextualize this within evolving therapy for HER2-positive gynecologic malignancies. Methods: We present the clinical course of a 62-year-old woman with a history of multiple prior malignancies, diagnosed with stage IVB uterine carcinosarcoma exhibiting HER2 overexpression. Following optimal cytoreductive surgery and first-line carboplatin, paclitaxel, and trastuzumab, the patient developed platinum-resistant recurrence. She was subsequently treated with T-DXd, and received serial imaging and clinical monitoring. Results: The patient achieved a partial response by cycle 4 of T-DXd, with subsequent scans demonstrating a complete response with no evidence of disease. She has successfully completed 21 cycles of T-DXd with minimal toxicity, aside from a reversible acute kidney injury and a small pleural effusion, both resolving without sequelae. The patient remains asymptomatic and continues therapy without any cardiopulmonary complications. Conclusions: This case highlights the efficacy of T-DXd for HER2-positive, platinum-resistant uterine carcinosarcoma, even when previously treated with Trastuzumab. Highly durable, complete response with manageable toxicity was achieved, underscoring the promise of T-DXd.
