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

backgroundOlder adults with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (mTNBC) remain underrepresented in clinical trials. Although sacituzumab govitecan (SG) improved outcomes in the phase III ASCENT trial, real-world data in older populations remain limited. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted a retrospective, multinational study across 18 oncology centers in Central Europe, including patients with mTNBC treated with SG between August 2021 and May 2025. Patients were stratified by age at SG initiation: <65 vs ≥65 years. Primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), treatment modifications, and safety.

resultsAmong 303 patients, 76 (25.1%) were aged ≥65 years. Older patients had more comorbidities, more prior palliative treatment lines, and more frequent ECOG performance status ≥1. In unadjusted analyses, patients aged ≥65 years had longer median OS (12.8 vs 10.9 months; HR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.49-0.99; P = 0.045) and PFS (5.4 vs 4.1 months; HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.54-0.97; P = 0.031). ORR, DCR, treatment modifications, and grade ≥3 neutropenia were comparable between groups. In multivariable analyses, age was not independently associated with OS or PFS.

conclusionIn this selected real-world cohort, patients aged ≥65 years who received SG had outcomes at least comparable to those of younger patients, without an apparent excess severe toxicity. Survival differences were likely influenced by baseline disease characteristics and patient selection rather than chronological age alone.
