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

Background: Dalpiciclib is the latest cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor approved in China. Real-world data regarding the efficacy and safety of dalpiciclib for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) are still insufficient. Objectives: This study aims to investigate the real-world outcomes of dalpiciclib in a more heterogeneous population of patients with MBC. Design: We retrospectively collected data of hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HR+/HER2-) MBC patients who received dalpiciclib plus endocrine therapy (ET) between January 2022 to March 2025 from four clinical centers in South China. Methods: Demographic characteristics and clinical data were collected. Real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety profiles were analyzed. Results: In total, 160 patients were included. The median follow-up time was 17.6 months (95% confidence interval (CI): 15.0-20.2). The estimated overall median rwPFS was 20.6 months (95% CI: 12.4-28.8), and the ORR was 17.5% (28/160) for the entire cohort. Subgroup analysis showed that the median rwPFS was 26.7 months in patients receiving first-line dalpiciclib plus ET, compared with 13.8 months in those receiving second- or later-line treatment. The median rwPFS for patients with brain metastases (BMs; Conclusion: In this real-world cohort of HR+/HER2- MBC patients, dalpiciclib plus ET retains its favorable clinical activity. This regimen also showed promising activity in patients with BMs and those previously exposed to CDK4/6 inhibitors.
