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

purposeTo decide the optimal treatment for breast cancer patients with locoregional recurrence (LRR), it is important to determine which group has the highest risk of subsequent distant metastasis (DM). We aimed to investigate the factors associated with DM in patients with LRR.

methodsWe reviewed the data of 208 patients with LRR as the first event after primary surgery for breast cancer at our institution between 1997 and 2010, to identify significant factors associated with DM. Subsequently, Kaplan-Meier curves and the Cox regression method were used to analyze the correlation between clinical factors and survival.

resultsDM occurred in 33.2% (68/208) of LRR patients. The median DM-free interval was 23 months. Some clinical factors were associated with DM in univariate analysis, including the type of primary surgery (p=0.026), tumor size (p=0.005), nodal status (p=0.011), and administration of initial adjuvant chemotherapy (p=0.001). In addition, regional rather than local recurrence and a disease-free interval (DFI; duration between primary surgery and LRR) ≤30 months were also significant (p<0.001 for both). However, only a shorter DFI reached significance in multiple logistic regression analysis. Cox regression analysis of DM-free survival showed that both a shorter DFI and regional recurrence were significant factors with hazard ratios of 2.1 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21-3.65) and 1.85 (95% CI, 1.04-3.28), respectively.

conclusionDFI was the most important factor associated with subsequent DM in patients with LRR as a first event of failure.
