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

aimTo analyze factors that affect the prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer patients under 35 years old. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed confirmed triple-negative breast cancer cases from 2000 to 2016 in multiple institutions. A total of 105 patients were included in the study, Nineteen of them were diagnosed with age ≤ 25, and 86 of them were aged between 26 to 35.

resultThere were no statistically significant differences in clinicopathologic features and treatment choices between patients aged ≤ 25 years and those aged 26-35 years (P > 0.05). Survival analysis showed no statistically significant differences in DFS and OS between the two groups (P > 0.05). Multiple factor analysis showed that age of menarche (HR 0.697, 95% CI [0.5634, 0.8631]), pregnancy correlation (HR 2.673, 95% CI [1.1581, 6.1741]), and lymph node positivity (HR 4.915, 95% CI [2.3774, 10.1627]) were independent prognostic factors that affected patients' DFS. Independent prognostic factors that influenced OS were age of menarche (HR 0.598, 95% CI [0.462 6, 0.775]) and lymph node positivity (HR 7.751, 95% CI [2.923, 20.559]).

conclusionThere was no difference in the clinicopathological features and prognosis between women ≤ 25 and women aged 26-35 years with triple-negative breast cancer. Age of menarche, pregnancy correlation, and positive lymph nodes were independent factors affecting prognosis. The relationship between reproductive factors and prognosis in young patients with triple-negative breast cancer needs further discussion.
