Prognostic implications of emergency admission and delays in patients with breast cancer.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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.
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
introductionThis study evaluates clinical-pathological characteristics and survival rates associated with emergency admission and delays in diagnosis and treatment of 411 consecutive breast cancer patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsEmergency admission and first symptom-first hospital visit delay were significantly associated with advanced tumor stages but only in the former case with short disease-free survival (RR 2.5, CI 95% 1.5-4.2).
resultsBrief diagnostic delays were significantly associated with advanced disease stage and poor survival rates (RR 2.04; CI 95% 1.08-3.82) probably because sicker patients receive prompt medical attention.
