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

Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) is an antibody-drug conjugate successfully used to treat HER2-low and HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer, but resistance consistently develops. Using multivariate Cox proportional hazards in a real-world cohort of 2,799 patients with breast cancer, we aimed to identify clinically relevant T-DXd resistance mechanisms. In patients with samples collected prior to T-DXd treatment, higher expression of ERBB2 (HER2) and lower expression of ABCC1 (an ATP-binding cassette transporter involved in drug efflux) were significantly associated with longer T-DXd-related overall survival (OS); ABCC1 predicted OS independently of HER2. Furthermore, mutations in several genes were enriched in post-T-DXd samples compared to unmatched T-DXd-naïve samples, including ERBB2, NFE2L2 (a transcriptional activator of ABCC1), and KEAP1 (a negative regulator of NFE2L2), indicating plausible resistance mechanisms related to HER2 target levels and ABCC1-mediated drug efflux. Identifying such resistance mechanisms might lead to improved methods of precision oncology and novel therapeutic approaches to overcome resistance.
