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

Postmenopausal patients with hormone-sensitive early breast cancer are typically treated with adjuvant endocrine therapy, which significantly reduces the risk of recurrence. Because treatment is of a long duration, side effects from adjuvant therapy can be problematic. The aromatase inhibitors (AIS) are replacing tamoxifen as first-line treatment agents for early breast cancer. Here, we present the side-effect data associated with AIS in relation to bone, gynecologic, and cardiovascular health and to arthralgia and myalgia. Although AIS have been shown to decrease bone density, increase arthralgia, and affect vaginal health, these adverse events are usually manageable, and several strategies can be followed to improve quality of life in women on AI treatment. To optimize adherence to therapy. It is important that these issues are addressed so that women can benefit from treatment.
