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

Background: The efficacy and safety of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) in the Chinese real-world setting have not been well characterized. Design: This is a retrospective analysis of PARPis efficacy in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients with homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene pathogenic variants (PVs). Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and toxicities of PARPis in real-world MBC patients. Methods: Patients who received PARPi for MBC at the National Cancer Center and two other centers between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2024, were consecutively included. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the predictive impact of clinicopathologic characteristics on PFS. Results: In total, 62 MBC patients treated with olaparib ( Conclusion: PARPis showed promising PFS and tolerable toxicity in the real-world treatment of Chinese MBC patients with HRR-related gene mutations.
