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

objectiveTo evaluate the clinical prognostic significance of preoperative serum hypersensitive-c-reactive-protein (Hs-CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR) in patients with luminal B subtype breast cancer.

methodsA total of 199 patients with luminal B subtype breast cancer enrolled in this study were analyzed retrospectively. The optimal cutoff value of CAR was performed by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). The associations between luminal B subtype breast cancer and clinicopathological variables by CAR were performed by chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier and log rank method were used for survival analysis. The independent prognostic factors were determined by univariate and multivariate Cox's proportional hazards regression model.

resultsThe patients were divided into low CAR group (CAR<0.044) and high CAR group (CAR≥0.044) by ROC. CAR was the independent factor by univariate and multivariate analysis, and the mean DFS and OS in the low CAR group survived longer than those in the high CAR group (p<0.05). According to the endocrine therapy with aromatase inhibitors, the mean survival time of DFS and OS in the low CAR group was significantly higher than that in the high CAR group (p<0.05). Moreover, patients with pathological I+II stage survived longer than those with pathological III stage, and the mean survival time of DFS and OS in the low CAR group was significantly higher than that in the high CAR group (p<0.05). Patients without lymph vessel invasion survived longer than those with lymph vessel invasion (p<0.05), and the mean survival time of DFS and OS in low the CAR group was significantly higher than that in the high CAR group (p<0.05).

conclusionPreoperative CAR was significantly associated with survival and prognosis of breast cancer, and it can be used as a routine prognostic indicator to predict the prognosis of luminal B subtype breast cancer.
