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

Background: The development of targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has contributed to precision medicine, as evidenced by the growing interest in evaluating human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression status to treat unresectable/metastatic HER2-low breast cancer (BC). However, the concordance between erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 ( Methods: Results: The median fold changes (FCs) for Conclusions: Targeted NGS has the potential in distinguishing HER2 IHC 3+, 2+, and 1+ tumors from IHC 0 in patients with BC; however, differentiating between HER2 IHC 1+ and 0 remains challenging. Additionally, targeted NGS may aid in the identification of actionable mutations, thereby contributing to the selection of optimal treatment strategies in BC management.
