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

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of triple human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) blockade with trastuzumab, pertuzumab, and pyrotinib (TPPy) versus dual HER2 blockade with trastuzumab and pertuzumab (TP) in the neoadjuvant treatment of HER2-positive breast cancer. Patients with stage II-III HER2-positive breast cancer were randomized (1:1) to receive TPPy or TP alongside weekly nab-paclitaxel for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was total pathological complete response (tpCR; ypT0/isN0). Exploratory biomarker and pathway analysis was done to identify patients benefiting from pyrotinib. A total of 109 patients were enrolled, and 108 received treatment: 55 in the TPPy group and 53 in the TP group. The tpCR rate was 65.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 51.4%-77.8%) in the TPPy group, and 60.4% (95% CI: 46.0%-73.5%) in the TP group (
