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

Objective: A subset of patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive (HER2+) breast cancer shows insensitivity to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT), often evidenced by imaging results indicating stable disease (SD) or progressive disease (PD), which may reflect intrinsic resistance to treatment. We aimed to investigate the factors associated with NAT insensitivity and its prognostic value in HER2+ breast cancer. Methods: This study included consecutive patients with HER2+ breast cancer who received NAT consisting of chemotherapy combined with anti-HER2 monoclonal antibodies. NAT insensitivity was defined as SD or PD on the basis of treatment response evaluations. Statistical analyses were conducted on the collected clinical data, and HER2 heterogeneity was subsequently assessed. Results: A total of 541 patients were included in the study, among whom 63 (11.6%) were categorized as NAT-insensitive group and 478 (88.4%) as NAT-sensitive group. Hormone receptor (HR) status (P=0.033), HER2 status (P=0.036) and anti-HER2 therapy (P=0.007) were associated with NAT sensitivity. NAT-insensitive group had a significantly shorter event-free survival (EFS) (3-year: 69.4% Conclusions: HR positivity, HER2 2+/fluorescence
