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

backgroundThe associations between socioeconomic statuses and survival outcomes of breast cancer remain unclear. No model has included both histological and socioeconomic factors to predict the survival of breast cancer. This study was designed to develop nomograms to predict breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and overall survival (OS) with consideration of socioeconomic factors for breast cancer patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe included a total of 207 749 female patients, diagnosed with malignant breast cancer between 2007 and 2012 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. BCSS and OS were evaluated with Gray's test and log-rank tests, respectively. Marital statuses, insurance statuses, residence, median household income, poverty rate, unemployment rate, and education level were included as socioeconomic factors in univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses. Clinicopathological factors and socioeconomic factors were integrated to construct nomograms. Calibration plots and concordance indexes (C-indexes) were used to evaluate the accuracy and discrimination of the models.

resultsFour and three socioeconomic factors were involved in constructing the nomograms for 3-, 5-, and 7-year BCSS and OS, respectively. The C-indexes of the final nomograms were higher than those of the TNM staging system for predicting BCSS (0.835 vs 0.782; P < .001) and OS (0.773 vs 0.676; P < .001). The performance of the nomograms for predicting OS was significantly lower when excluding socioeconomic factors (P < .001).

conclusionThese findings may highlight the importance of developing health-related policies and the necessity of targeted social support-based interventions for high-risk patients.
