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 the most prevalent cancer in adult young women in Europe. Although rare, it is one of the leading causes of death in this age group. The aim of this study is to characterize a cohort of young women regarding tumor stage, biology, treatment and survival. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe present a multicenter retrospective analysis of women <35 years of age, diagnosed with BC between 2008 and 2017. A total of 207 patients from five Portuguese centers were included, from whom 172 were eligible for analysis. Data were analyzed using IBM SPPSS statistics.

resultsMedian age at diagnosis was 31 years. Fifty-one percent of tumors were hormone receptor (HR)-positive/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, 20% HR-positive/HER2-positive, 8% HR-negative/HER2-positive and 20% triple-negative BC. Twenty-two percent of patients were diagnosed in stage I, 26% stage II, 45% stage III and 6% had de novo metastatic cancer. Thirty-nine percent of patients were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Mean follow-up time was 64.9 months and overall survival at 5 years, of the entire cohort and metastatic patients, was 86.5% and 26%, respectively.

conclusionsIn our study we found similar population characteristics to other cohorts <35 years of age. To our knowledge, this is one of the largest cohorts in very young women. BC in young women is an important issue and further studies are needed to provide better care and survivorship to patients.
