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

Metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks actionable targets, and chemotherapy yields median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 4.6-9.7 months and median overall survival (mOS) of 12.6-26.3 months. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors only help subsets (objective response rate [ORR] of ~ 5% and ~ 12%, respectively). Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as a leading therapeutic strategy: sacituzumab govitecan extended mPFS to 5.6 months (ASCENT trial), SKB264 to 6.7 months, and datopotamab deruxtecan achieved an ORR of 79%. In Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low TNBC, trastuzumab deruxtecan prolonged OS to 18.2 months, while disitamab vedotin and SHR-A1811 achieved ORRs of 26% and 60%, respectively. ADCs targeting Human epidermal growth factor receptor 3 (HER3)-, Nectin-4-, LIV-1- and folate receptor α (FRα) showed responses in 22%-54% of cases. Resistance can arise via antigen loss, endocytic defects, lysosomal failure, and efflux pumps. Bispecific ADCs, linker optimization, and combination regimens (ICI, PARPi) are under investigation. Future efforts will focus on targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and FRα and on developing multimodal immunovascular strategies to sustain clinical benefit.
