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

Inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are subtypes of breast cancer with the lowest 5-year survival rates. One potential approach to increase survival rates for these cancers may be to identify tolerable and inexpensive daily maintenance therapies that could be administered in between standard of care treatments. The present study aimed to identify non-oncology drugs (NODs) that show activity against IBC/TNBC that could be repurposed for this use. Thus, a collection of NODs were screened and curated from a published database using cell line SUM-149, which is both an IBC and TNBC cell line (TN-IBC). In a parallel screening approach, a subset of these NODs were tested for activity against two other TNBC cell lines. Together, 15 drugs with activity against this IBC cell line were identified and grown as spheroids. A number of these drugs have not been previously identified as having activity in an IBC cell line. In addition, eight of these were understudied for TNBC and, therefore, they were tested against three TNBC cell lines grown as spheroids, resulting in variable breadth of activities.
