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 single progesterone receptor (PR)-positive phenotype (estrogen receptor (ER)-/PR + , sPR positive) is an infrequent and independent biological entity. However, the prognosis of patients with sPR-positive and her-2-negative phenotype is still controversial, and it is not always easy to decide treatment strategies for them.

methodsPatients during 2010-2014 were identified from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate cancer-specific survival (CSS). The propensity score matching (PSM) method was used to balance differences of characteristics in groups. The Life-Table method was used to calculate 5-year CSS rates and the annual hazard rate of death (HRD).

resultsA total of 97,527 patients were included, and only 745 (0.76%) patients were sPR-positive phenotype. The majority of sPR-positive breast cancer were basal-like subtype. Survival analysis showed that the sPR-positive breast cancer had similar prognosis comparing to double hormonal receptor-negative (ER-/PR-, dHoR-negative) breast cancer, and had the highest HRD during the initial 1-2 years of follow-up, then maintained the HRD of almost zero during the late years of follow-up.

conclusionsThe patients with sPR-positive and her-2-negative breast cancer, similar to dHoR-negative breast cancer, had a worse survival, and could benefit from chemotherapy significantly. However, the escalating endocrine therapy was not recommended for sPR-positive patients. The patients with sPR positive should be excluded from future clinical trials concerning endocrine therapy.
