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

Approximately 15% to 20% of patients with breast cancer are human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)-positive, and this type has a high recurrence rate. With the application of anti-HER2 drugs such as trastuzumab, the prognosis of patients with HER2-positive breast cancer has improved significantly. However, more than 30% of patients present with recurrence and distant metastasis due to drug resistance. It is important to develop new drugs to overcome trastuzumab resistance. Therefore, in collaboration with a research group at Dalian University of Technology, we synthesized ZQL-4c, a novel oleanolic acid (OA) derivative that was found to target the lipid metabolism reprogramming function of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), inducing lipotoxicity-mediated apoptosis. These findings provide an attractive future direction for the treatment of HER2-positive trastuzumab-resistant breast cancer.
