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 Bhagarva surrogate molecular subtype definitions classify invasive breast cancer into seven the different subgroups based on immunohistochemical (IHC) criteria according to expression levels of markers as ER, PR, HER2, EGFR and/or basal cytokeratin (CK5/6) which are different in prognosis and responsiveness to adjuvant therapy. PURPOSE: The present study aimed to classify primary breast cancers and directly compares the prognostic significance of the intrinsic subtypes.

methodsThe current study was conducted on 522 breast cancer patients who had surgery, but had not received neoadjuvant chemotherapy, from 2011 to 2014. The clinicopathologic characteristics were recorded. IHC staining was performed for ER, PR, HER2, Ki67, CK5/6, EGFR and D2-40 markers. All breast cancer patients were stratified according to Bhagarva criteria. The followed-up patients' survival was analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier and Log-Rank models.

resultsThe luminal A (LUMA) was observed at the highest rate (32.5%). Non-basal-like triple negative phenotype (TNB-) and Luminal A HER2-Hybrid (LAHH) were the least common (3.3% in both). LUMA and luminal B (LUMB) were significantly associated with better prognostic features compared to HER2, basal-like triple negative phenotype (TNB+) and TNB-. Statistically significant differences were demonstrated between overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) and molecular subtypes (P<0.05), of which LUMB and LUMA had the highest rate of OS and DFS being 97.2 and 93.7%; and 97.2 and 90.5%, respectively. Conversely, HER2 revealed the worst prognosis with the lowest prevalence of OS and DFS (72.5 and 69.9%, respectively).

conclusionThe molecular subtypes had a distinct OS and DFS. The intrinsic stratification displayed inversely to clinicopathological features in breast cancer.
