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

Management of advanced hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer after progression on endocrine therapy plus CDK4/6 inhibitors is challenging due to mutational heterogeneity. Current therapies yield limited efficacy, achieving 4-6 months PFS. FGFR signaling is implicated in resistance to endocrine plus CDK4/6 inhibitors, but FGFR inhibitors have shown limited activity in unselected populations. Co-clinical trials bridge preclinical and clinical findings, optimize resources, and enable biomarker identification. Using patient-derived organoids (PDOs), we demonstrated that FGFR-amplified PDOs respond to fulvestrant, palbociclib, and rogaratinib only when PIK3CA and ESR1 are wild-type. In a dose-escalation trial pre-screening 66 patients with FGFR1/2-amplification (FISH) and/or overexpression (RNAScope) patients, >40% harbored FGFR alterations. Nine patients were enrolled; the combination showed activity specifically in PIK3CA- and ESR1-wild type patients (9.1 vs. 1.9 months PFS; P = 0.0005). Toxicity was manageable and consistent with prior data. Our findings highlight biomarker-driven approaches as essential for refining FGFR-targeted strategies in this resistant population.
