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

purposeThe aim of this study is to provide some useful insights into the treatments, outcomes, and prognostic factors of patients with breast cancer spine metastases (BCSM).

methodsWe report a retrospective case series analyzing 87 patients with BCSM who underwent surgical interventions. Independent prognostic factors for SMFS and OS were extracted using univariate and multivariate analyses, the Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox proportional hazards model.

resultsThe mean time between primary diagnoses and spinal metastases was 46.8 (median 41, range 0-147 months) months. The analysis showed that lymph node metastasis (

conclusionsLymph node metastases and ER status are independent risk factors in predicting BCSM. Moreover, visceral metastasis, multiple metastases of the spine and post-op chemotherapy are independent prognostic factors. Luminal subtypes have higher rate, but late onset of spine metastases and prolonged survival.
