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

backgroundAromatase inhibitor (AI) is a cornerstone drug for endocrine therapy of postmenopausal hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. The relationship between AI medication and subsequent cataract risk is yet inconclusive.

methodsA total of 1,697 postmenopausal, early-staged, and hormone receptor-positive breast cancer patients from the prospectively-maintained database of the Breast Surgery Department at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were included, with 542 patients received no endocrine therapy and 1,155 treated with AI only. We explored the influence the use of AI or not and the duration of AI on the subsequent incidence of cataract.

resultsA total of 146 (8.6%) cataracts were observed in the whole study population. The incidence of cataract is highly related to age, with incidence of cataract in patients <50 years old, 50-60 years, ≥60 years was 2.9%, 6.9%, and 13.3%, respectively (P<0.001). There was no significant relationship between adjuvant AI use and cataract (7.4% in no endocrine group

conclusionsThere is no significant association between use of AI and cataract in postmenopausal breast cancer patients. Of note, age is an important risk factor for cataract and it is necessary to surveil the eye health in postmenopausal elderly women.
