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

purposeThere are new advancements in the modulation of the treatment of patients with early-stage breast cancer, including the use of several molecular profiling tests to identify or select those patients who require additional adjuvant chemotherapy together with hormonal therapy on the basis of a recurrence score. One such tool is EndoPredict (Myriad Genetics; Salt Lake City, UT), which provides support in clinical decision making. The objective of this analysis was to study the landscape of absolute chemotherapy benefit and the likelihood of recurrence within 5 to 15 years in Indian patients with breast cancer who are undergoing EndoPredict testing. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis study included 308 patients with hormone-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative early breast cancer. Their postsurgical blocks were analyzed using the EndoPredict test. The MEDCALC statistical tool (Panum Education; Seoul, Republic of Korea) was used to estimate the correlation coefficient and to conduct multiple regression analysis.

resultsOn the basis of the EndoPredict EPclin Risk Score, 52.12% of patients were classified as being in the low-risk category and could safely forgo adjuvant chemotherapy. For every unit increase in the EPclin Risk Score, the percentage increase in absolute chemotherapy benefit was 6.82%. Similarly, the correlation between the likelihood of recurrence within 5 to 15 years and the EPclin Risk Score suggested that there is a 10.34% increase in recurrence for each unit of EPclin Risk Score.

conclusionThe EPclin Risk Score has good prognostic and predictive power; it also provides the range of chemotherapy benefit for Indian patients.
