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

purposeAdjuvant treatment for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer in postmenopausal women with aromatase inhibitors is associated with increased bone loss depending on the compliance to treatment.

methodsIn this bone substudy, bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry at baseline and after 12- and 24-month treatment in 63 patients receiving Anastrozole as adjuvant treatment for hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer. To minimize the effects of confounders, a matched pair analysis (compliant N = 21, non-compliant N = 21) was performed.

resultsAnastrozole treatment in compliant patients leads to a decrease in BMD (g/cm(2)) at lumbar spine and total hip from baseline to 12 and 24 months (-2.57 % P = 0.004; -2.02 % P = 0.05; -2.57 % P = 0.001 and -4.18 % P = 0.003, respectively) compared to non-compliant patients (-1.71 % P = 0.050; -2.00 % P = 0.085; -1.65 % P = 0.055 and -3.20 % P = 0.005, respectively).

conclusionsAnastrozole treatment in compliant patients with breast cancer resulted in a larger, increase in bone loss at 12 and 24 months compared to non-compliant patients. Bone loss stabilized in both groups at the spine from 12- to 24-month treatment, whereas maintained at the total hip.
