Efficacy and safety of eribulin therapy for breast cancer with liver metastasis: a retrospective real-world study.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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: Eribulin is a microtubule inhibitor indicated for metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Previous studies have demonstrated its overall survival benefit in patients with MBC, but data on its efficacy in those with liver metastases are lacking. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the efficacy and safety of eribulin in 73 patients with liver metastases from breast cancer treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between 2020 and 2024. Systemic progression-free survival and objective response rate were assessed per RECIST version 1.1, and adverse events were evaluated. Results: The median progression-free survival was 3.7 months (95% CI: 2.8-4.6), with a systemic objective response rate of 15.1% (95% CI: 7.8%-25.4%; partial responses only). The highest objective response rate (21.2%) was numerically observed in the HR+/HER2- subtype. The most common adverse events were neutropenia (42.5%), fatigue (37.0%), alopecia (34.2%), and peripheral neuropathy (28.8%), with no treatment-related deaths. Conclusions: In this single-center retrospective exploratory analysis, eribulin-based therapy demonstrated preliminary activity in heavily pre-treated breast cancer patients with liver metastases. These hypothesis-generating findings warrant further prospective validation.
