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: Trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) has transformed the treatment landscape of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-positive (HER2+) metastatic breast cancer (mBC), with significant improvements in survival reported in clinical trials. However, limited data exist regarding its performance in real-world settings, particularly in lower-middle-income countries (LMICs). Objectives: To evaluate the real-world effectiveness and safety of T-DXd in patients with HER2+ mBC in Türkiye. Design: A multicenter retrospective cohort study. Methods: This multicenter, retrospective cohort study, conducted by the Turkish Oncology Group, evaluated the real-world outcomes and tolerability of T-DXd in patients with HER2+ mBC across 27 oncology centers in Türkiye. The primary endpoints were real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) and overall survival (rwOS). Secondary endpoints included response rate, safety (with adverse events (AEs) graded according to CTCAE v5.0), and evaluation of the first post-T-DXd treatments. Results: A total of 269 patients were included. The median age was 49 years (interquartile range: 42-59), and the median follow-up was 12.9 months. The median rwPFS was 17.9 months (95% confidence interval: 13.3-22.5), and the median rwOS was 35.7 months (95% confidence interval: 27.8-43.6). The objective response rate was 71.4%, and the disease control rate was 95.2%. Patients receiving T-DXd in the second line experienced significantly longer rwPFS compared with those treated in later lines ( Conclusion: In this large national real-world cohort from an LMIC, T-DXd demonstrated robust antitumor activity and a manageable safety profile in patients with HER2+ mBC. These findings are consistent with prior clinical trial data and support the applicability of T-DXd in broader clinical settings.
