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

objectiveThe indication of adjuvant chemotherapy recommendation (ACR) in breast cancer patients with intermediate recurrence score (RS) is controversial. This study investigated the relationship between routine clinicopathological indicators and ACR, and established a nomogram for predicting the probability of ACR in this subset of patients.

methodsData for a total of 504 consecutive patients with intermediate RS from January 2014 to December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. A nomogram was constructed using a multivariate logistic regression model based on data from a training set (378 cases) and validated in an independent validation set (126 cases). A Youden-derived cut-off value was assigned to the nomogram for accuracy evaluation.

resultsThe multivariate logistic regression analysis identified that age, histological grade, tumor size, lymph node (LN) status, molecular subtype, and RS were independent predictors of ACR. A nomogram based on these predictors performed well. The P value of the Hosmer-Lemeshow test for the prediction model was 0.286. The area under the curve (AUC) values were 0.905 [95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.876-0.934] and 0.883 (95% CI: 0.824-0.942) in the training and validation sets, respectively. The accuracies of the nomogram for ACR were 84.4% in the training set and 82.1% in the validation set.

conclusionsWe developed a nomogram to predict the probability of ACR in breast cancer patients with intermediate RS. This model may aid the individual risk assessment and guide treatment decisions in clinical practice.
