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.

Abstract

Tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are potent antitumoral agents against breast cancer. Tamoxifen increases the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but the influence of AIs on the risk of VTE remains unclear. To inform clinical decisions, we evaluated associations of tamoxifen or AIs with changes of surrogate hemostatic biomarkers. This prospective cohort included 107 women with localized breast cancer starting tamoxifen (n = 42) or an AI (n = 65). Thrombin generation (CAT) its sensitivity to thrombomodulin (TM) or activated protein C (APC), and specific coagulation parameters, were measured before and 10-16 weeks after initiation of treatmen Compared with baseline, endogenous thrombin potential and thrombin peak increased in tamoxifen users (+86 nM × min; 95% confidence interval [CI], 30-142; and +33 nM; 95% CI, 21-45) but not in AI users (n = 65; +44 nM × min; 95% CI, -4 to 93; and +7 nM; 95% CI, -3 to 17). Normalized TM sensitivity ratios increased with tamoxifen (+0.26; 95% CI, 0.19-0.33y) but not with AI (+0.02; 95% CI, -0.03 to 0.07). Plasma levels of fibrinogen, antithrombin, protein C, and Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor decreased, and free protein S increased with tamoxifen but not with AIs. The observed shift toward increased coagulability associated with tamoxifen is in line with its known increased risk of VTE. In contrast, AIs do not appear to impact hemostasis, suggesting a lack of associated VTE risk. The trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT03381963.
