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

backgroundMetastatic metaplastic triple-negative breast cancer (mMpTNBC) is a rare, aggressive subtype with poor responsiveness to standard therapies. Sacituzumab govitecan (SG) is effective in metastatic TNBC (mTNBC), but data in mMpTNBC are limited to case reports. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis multinational, multicenter, retrospective case series was conducted within the CEBCC-102 real-world evidence project across 18 cancer centers. Female patients with histologically confirmed mMpTNBC treated with ≥ 2L SG outside of clinical trials in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia between August 2021 and June 2025 were included. Clinical data, treatment outcomes, and adverse events (AEs) were collected from medical records and analysed.

resultsAmong 303 patients with mTNBC treated with SG in second and later lines within the CEBCC-102 project, 13 women (4.3%) had mMpTNBC and were included in this analysis. Median age was 58 years. PD-L1 CPS ≥ 10 was found in 83% of tested cases. Overall response rate was 36.4%, clinical benefit rate 45.5%, median progression-free survival 3.2 months and median overall survival 8.9 months. Neutropenia (N = 9, 69%) was the most common AE; no febrile neutropenia or treatment discontinuations due to toxicity occurred.

conclusionsThis first international real-world series of SG in mMpTNBC shows clinically relevant activity and manageable toxicity, addressing a critical evidence gap and supporting further prospective studies, particularly in PD-L1-positive disease.
