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.
