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

objectivesThis study aimed to investigate the clinicopathologic features and subtype distribution of invasive breast cancer in elderly women (≥70 years of age).

methodsThis retrospective study of 1,130 women compared the clinicopathologic characteristics and subtype distribution of invasive breast cancer in elderly (≥70 years) versus non-elderly (<70 years) women. Tumors were classified into five distinct subtypes based on the immunohistochemistry status of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), Ki67, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2).

resultsThe two patient groups did not differ significantly regarding ER and HER2 status. Breast cancers in elderly women were more likely to have negative PR status (40.4% vs. 32.6%,

conclusionsBreast cancers in elderly women were less frequently node positive and more frequently PR negative and with low Ki67 expression than those in non-elderly women. Moreover, there was no difference in subtype distribution between the two age groups.
