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 represents the most frequently diagnosed malignancy in women, with the hormone receptor-positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) subtype being the most prevalent. For advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer, the combination of cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) with endocrine therapy has become the established first-line standard, significantly prolonging both median progression-free survival (mPFS) and overall survival (OS). Nevertheless, the majority of patients eventually develop resistance, leading to disease progression. The underlying mechanisms of resistance are multifactorial, involving dysregulated cell cycle control, reprogramming of signaling pathways, and remodeling of the tumor microenvironment (TME). At present, there is no standardized treatment strategy for overcoming CDK4/6i resistance. This article systematically reviews current post-CDK4/6i therapeutic strategies, including next-generation endocrine therapies (e.g., oral SERDs), targeted agents directed at the PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis, AKT inhibitors, and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), and discusses potential future therapeutic directions.
