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 prognosis of the association between Breast Cancer (BC) and Meningioma (M) is unknown. To evaluate the survival impact of tumor exposure sequence in patients with both tumors. Patients were divided in groups according to the tumors sequence: BC before M (group 1), synchronous BC + M (group 2) and BC after M (group 3). The SEER database was used. Demographics, meningioma and breast cancer variables were analyzed. The primary outcome was oncological survival. A total of 1715 patients were included (median follow-up:84 months). Group 2 had the shortest survival (median:32 months) and group 1 the longest (median:110 months). On the unadjusted analysis, group 2 had the shortest survival (HR:3.13, 95% CI 1.62-6.04) and adjusted analysis confirmed this finding (HR 3.11, 95% CI 1.58-6.19), with no statistical difference between the metachronous tumors groups. Increasing age (HR:1.13, 95% CI 1.11-1.15, p < 0.005) and grade III meningioma (HR:4.51, 95% CI 1.90-10.69, p < 0.005) were related with lower survival. Meningioma treatment had no influence on the survival (p > 0.05). The association between surgery and radiotherapy in BC treatment improved the outcome (HR 0.37, 95% CI 0.23-0.93, p < 0.05). Grade III meningioma and receptor hormonal status influenced synchronous tumors (p < 0.05) but had no influence on metachronous tumors survival (p > 0.05) on stratified analysis. Synchronous tumors were associated with lower survival. Increasing age had a negative influence on patient survival. Although surgery and radiotherapy for breast cancer had a positive influence in the outcome, meningioma treatment was not related with survival. Grade III meningioma and hormonal receptor status only influenced synchronous tumors patient survival.
