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

p95HER2 is commonly expressed in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer (BC) and is generated primarily from shedding of the extracellular domain of HER2. p95HER2 is oncogenic, driving aggressive tumor growth, and conferring drug resistance. Targeting p95HER2 is challenging. Clinically approved HER2 inhibitors either cannot bind to p95HER2 or show limited inhibitory effects. We used cell lines and orthotopic tumor models (cell line xenografts and patient derived xenografts) to investigate the effects of HER2 inhibitors on p95HER2 and other key signaling proteins in HER2-positive BC, and to compare the therapeutic activities of different HER2 inhibitors. The HER2 inhibitors represent different mechanisms of actions, including trastuzumab, pertuzumab, tucatinib, and lapatinib, all of which are clinically approved, as well as PEPD
