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

Breast cancer (BC) in elderly women is an increasing health issue due to demographic changes. BC tends to present later and may receive less than standard treatment options. More often, BC in elderly patients is endocrine-positive (HR+). The treatment of elderly patients with metastatic BC (mBC) represents a therapeutic challenge. In recent years, the treatment landscape of patients that are HR+/Her2-negative has changed due to the introduction in clinical practice of new targeted drugs, which have improved patient outcomes. Elderly patients are a small percentage of all patients enrolled in clinical trials and, to date, there are no standardized guidelines that define the best treatment option for this patient population. This can lead to undertreatment or overtreatment, impacting patient morbidity and mortality. Geriatric Assessment tools to tailor the treatment in elderly patients are underused because they are long and difficult to apply in a busy routine clinical practice. For all these reasons, there is an urgent need to produce data about the best treatment for elderly patients with HR+ mBC. Herein, we report data from randomized clinical trials and real-world evidence on the therapeutic options for HR+ Her2-negative mBC elderly patients and explore future treatment directions.
