Predicting the Efficacy of Eribulin in Metastatic Breast Cancer by Assessing E-Cadherin and Vimentin Expression.

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.
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
Eribulin, a microtubule inhibitor, is effective as later-line therapy for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) and has been reported to remodel the tumor microenvironment and inhibit epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, the association between pretreatment EMT status and eribulin efficacy remains unclear. We retrospectively analyzed 41 patients with MBC (excluding invasive lobular carcinoma) treated with eribulin between 2013 and 2020. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded biopsy specimens were examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using anti-E-cadherin (24E10) and anti-vimentin (V9) antibodies. Complete membranous E-cadherin expression (3+) was defined as normal; reduced expression (2+, 1+, 0) as altered. Negative vimentin was considered normal; positive expression, altered. Co-localization of E-cadherin and vimentin was assessed by multi-immunofluorescent staining. Of the 41 patients, 24 responded to eribulin and 17 did not. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly longer in responders than in nonresponders (
