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

backgroundBreast cancer (BC) is a heterogeneous disease, and patients with apparently similar clinicopathological characteristics in clinical practice show different outcome. This study evaluated in primary BCs and in the subgroup of the triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) the level of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), Na MATERIAL AND

methodsNHERF1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 338 BC samples; the analysis of TILs was examined using hematoxylin and eosin stained slides, according to International TILs Working Group 2014.

resultsMultivariate analysis identified TILs as an independent prognostic factor for DFS in the entire cohort and in the TNBC subgroup (HR, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.12-0.87; P = 0.026; and HR, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.06-0.80; P = 0.022, respectively). Univariate and survival analysis by Kaplan-Meier method revealed that patients with cytoplasmic (c) NHERF1

conclusionsIn the complex scenario of BC and in the era of tumor immunogenicity and immunotherapy, we found an association of TIL levels and cNHERF1 expression that could be useful to identify BCs and particularly TNBC patients with different prognosis and clinical outcome.
