BRCA1/2 subtype:        
Germline BRCA1/2 mutation # 4 1 (25%) 4 (100%) 2 (50%)
Germline BRCA1/2 wild‐type # 2 1 (50%) 2 (100%) 2 (100%)
Homologous recombination deficiency status:        
Homologous recombination deficient # 2 1 (50%) 2 (100%) 2 (100%)
Not homologous recombination deficient # 2 1 (50%) 2 (100%) 2 (100%)

^Numbers for each outcome are the number of treatment‐comparison with sufficient data to be included in meta‐analysis for that outcome.

# BRCA1/2 subtype and homologous recombination deficiency status were within‐study subgroupings for Tutt 2018 and Zhang 2018; hence Tutt 2018 and Zhang 2018 both contributed to both BRCA1/2 subroups and both homologous recombination deficiency status subgroups.
