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

opinion statementDespite the increase of breast cancer incidence with age, approximately 7 to 10% ofwomen diagnosed with breast cancer are younger than the age 40. This subgroup ofpatients has different risk factors, tumour biology, clinical outcomes, and specific psy- chosocial issues, such as fertility preservation, family planning, and job reintegration. However, age alone should not be the main consideration when choosing the aggressive- ness of the treatment, as other factors must be considered, including the biologic aggressiveness of the tumour, potential long-term toxicities, and the preferences of the patient. Fertility preservation techniques should be discussed with the patient before starting any cancer treatment. Despite the significant percentage of breast cancer patients younger than age 40, fewclinical studies have specifically investigated disease characteristics and outcomes of this population, and most therapies routinely administered to these younger women were tested in older patients. Moreover, young women who have breast cancer are at a greater risk of sexual and psychological distress, and clinicians should address these issues in order to properly support patients during the long diagnostic and therapeutic journey. Consequently, it is essential to follow diagnostic and treatment guidelines specificallyaddressed to young women. Additional specific procedures should be followed to treat pregnant patients with breast cancer.
