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

Breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have emerged as a critical therapeutic option, particularly for patients with triple-negative breast cancer and other HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer harboring BRCA mutations. Despite their clinical success, the emergence of primary and acquired resistance to PARP inhibitors poses a significant challenge, limiting their long-term effectiveness. Here we provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms underlying the action of PARP inhibitors, as well as their clinical development and application. In addition, we discuss the factors driving resistance and potential strategies to overcome it in the context of PARP inhibitors.
