Rucaparib in refractory pleural mesothelioma harboring somatic pathogenic BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation. A report of two cases.
Article in Lung cancer management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Pleural mesothelioma is a rare disease with few therapeutic options, especially in the first line refractory setting. Targeted agents did not demonstrate a significant clinical benefit in mesothelioma treatment, nevertheless a small group of patients might harbor potentially actionable somatic mutations, as in homologous repair recombination genes. In this paper we report two cases of patients with heavily pretreated pleural mesothelioma that had a relevant clinical benefit with rucaparib treatment based on somatic BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 mutations detected through next generation sequencing.
