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

The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic values of some biological parameters in a population based series of female breast cancer patients. Through the Tuscan Cancer Registry all the invasive breast cancer cases diagnosed during the period 2004-2005 in the provinces of Florence and Prato, central Italy, were retrieved. Molecular subtypes were analyzed defined by immunohistochemical markers, by age, tumor size, lymph node status, histotype, grade of differentiation and proliferative marker. Out of 1487 patients 70.3% were luminal A subtype (ER/PR + HER2-), 15.6% luminal B (ER/PR + HER2+), 8.1% triple negative (ER/PR-HER2-), 6.0% HER2+ (ER/PR-HER2+); the 3 year survival rates were 93.3%, 89.5%, 86.3%, 82.7% respectively (p < 0.001). Analysis of survival by the Cox proportional hazards model showed an independent prognostic value of molecular classification. Our study revealed significant differences in clinicopathological characteristics among breast cancer molecular subtypes and confirmed their prognostic independent role.
