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: Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) amplification has been identified in approximately 3% of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Owing to the lack of established anti-ERBB2 therapeutic approaches, mCRC patients with Her-2 amplification rarely receive targeted treatments. Moreover, conventional chemotherapy regimens are not ideal for these patients, leaving options in the advanced stage limited to best supportive care or participation in clinical drug trials. Case presentation: This report presents a case of a patient with Her-2-amplified refractory mCRC treated with a salvage regimen combining Disitamab Vedotin and Pyrotinib, resulting in a partial response and progression-free survival for 6 months, which is still ongoing. Conclusion: This case study suggests that the anti-Her-2 regimen involving Disitamab Vedotin and Pyrotinib may offer a potential salvage treatment option for patients with Her-2-amplified mCRC patients. However, further validation in larger cohorts is necessary in future studies.
