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

Background: Accurate survival prediction of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is essential in the decision-making of adjuvant treatment. The aim of this prospective study was to develop a nomogram that predicts overall survival and assists adjuvant treatment formulation. Methods: A total of 16,977 patients with pT1-2N0M0 TNBC between 2010 and 2015 from the SEER database were enrolled. Independent prognostic factors associated with overall survival (OS) were identified using univariate and multivariate Cox regression hazards method and utilized to compose the nomogram. The survival benefit of adjuvant treatment on OS were analyzed after stratification by nomogram sum-score. Results: Patients were randomized 7:3 into the training and validation cohorts. Multivariate analysis revealed that age at diagnosis, grade, tumor size, laterality, and mastectomy type were independent prognostic factors of OS and were integrated to develop a nomogram for predicting prognosis. Patients were stratified into 3 prognostic subgroups according to the sum-score of our nomogram. There were no significant differences found in OS between surgery alone and other adjuvant treatment strategies in low risk group. In moderate risk group, patients receiving chemotherapy or the combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy showed better OS than those receiving surgery alone or radiotherapy alone. For patients in high risk group, the combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy could maximally improve the overall survival rate of patients. Conclusion: A novel nomogram for OS prediction and risk stratification in patients with pT1-2N0M0 TNBC was developed. This cohort study reveals the prognostic roles of different adjuvant treatment strategies in subgroups, which may provide a reference for the decision-making of postoperative treatment, eventually improving prognosis for individual patients.
