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: Inetetamab is a Chinese-origin recombinant anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody. Herein, we assessed the efficacy and safety of inetetamab-containing regimens in patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with HER2-positive MBC who received inetetamab-containing regimens as a salvage treatment in metastatic setting from December 2020 to April 2024. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) in the total population (TP). Patients with brain metastases were also included. Secondary endpoints were objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and safety. Results: At the data cut-off date of June 1, 2024, a total of 90 patients were included in this analysis. Median follow-up duration was 7.2 months (IQR 3.6-13.1). The median PFS was 12.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 7.3 to 17.0 months) in the TP. The median PFS in the subgroup with brain metastases reached 10.0 months (95% CI 5.9 to NA months). The ORR was 46.6% (42/90), and the DCR was 92.2% (83/90). The most frequently combined chemotherapy was vinorelbine (83/90,92.2%). The most frequently concomitant targeted drug was pyrotinib (70/90,77.8%). The median PFS not reached for first-line, 15.9 months (95% CI 11.9 to NA months) for second-line, and 5.9 months (95% CI 4.4 to 12.2 months) for third-line or later therapy. Cox univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that lines of treatment were the only significant predictive factor for PFS (first- and second-line vs third-line or above: 15.9 vs 5.9 months, p=0.0021). The toxicity was tolerable. The most frequent grade 3 or 4 treatment-related adverse events were diarrhea (12.2%). Conclusion: Inetetamab offers a promising option and a manageable safety profile for HER2-positive MBC who pretreated with multiple-line therapies. Meanwhile, inetetamab plus small-molecule TKIs regimens shows good anti-tumor efficacy for MBC with brain metastases, which deserves further validation in a larger group trial.
