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

backgroundTriple negative breast cancers (TNBC) are associated with an aggressive clinical course, earlier recurrence and short survival.

methodsAn extensive literature search was performed in MEDLINE, EMBASE and LILACS databases, WHO (WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform) and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register Database, for online trial registries and conference proceedings. The measurement of pCR was assessed by pathology review of breast specimen and lymph nodes.

resultsThe overall OR was computed using random effects models.Seven studies were included, comprising a total of 808 TNBC patients, among which 159 were

conclusionsThis meta-analysis shows that the addition of platinum to chemotherapy regimens in the neoadjuvant setting increases pCR rate in
