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.

Abstract

backgroundWe report ophthalmological assessments, patient-reported visual symptoms/functioning, and characterization of visual effect AEs from the SERENA-6 study. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis double-blind, placebo-controlled phase III study included 315 patients with ER-positive advanced breast cancer receiving first-line aromatase inhibitor (AI)+CDK4/6 inhibitor (CDK4/6i). Patients with emerging ESR1 mutations in ctDNA and no radiological progression were randomized 1:1 to switch to camizestrant+CDK4/6i or continue AI+CDK4/6i. Predefined group term visual effect AEs were graded (NCI-CTCAE v5.0). Ophthalmological assessments were conducted at baseline, as indicated, and at the end of treatment. Analyses of patient-reported visual effects/functioning were exploratory.

resultsVisual effect AEs were reported in 49 (31.6%) patients receiving camizestrant+CDK4/6i and 25 (16.1%) patients receiving AI+CDK4/6i; 90% were grade 1; none led to discontinuation. No changes in visual acuity or ocular structure were observed. Patient-reported visual effects occurred early (by week 2) and were reversible post-treatment. The proportion of patients in the camizestrant+CDK4/6i and AI+CDK4/6i arm reporting short-lived visual effects (<1 minute) ranged from 60% to 67% vs 50% to 69%, respectively; visual effects causing no/a low degree of bother: 78%-88% vs 50%-75%, respectively. During treatment, visual functioning was comparable to baseline and between arms.

conclusionIf experienced, patient-reported visual effects (including photopsia) with camizestrant+CDK4/6i were short-lived and reversible post-treatment. Visual effect AEs with camizestrant+CDK4/6i were mostly mild and did not require treatment discontinuation or ophthalmological management. There was no impact on ocular structure, function, or visual acuity; visual effects had little/no impact on daily functioning. These findings support clinical decision-making by further characterizing the visual safety profile of camizestrant in this setting. CLINICAL
