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

Characterization of breast cancer into intrinsic molecular profiles has allowed women to live longer, undergoing personalized treatments. With the aim of investigating the relation between different values of ki67 and the predisposition to develop a breast cancer-related IDE at different ages, we enrolled 900 patients with a first diagnosis of invasive breast cancer, and we partitioned the dataset into two sub-samples with respect to an age value equal to 50 years. For each sample, we performed a Kaplan−Meier analysis to compare the IDE-free survival curves obtained with reference to different ki67 values. The analysis on patients under 50 years old resulted in a p-value < 0.001, highlighting how the behaviors of patients characterized by a ki67 ranging from 10% to 20% and greater than 20% were statistically significantly similar. Conversely, patients over 50 years old characterized by a ki67 ranging from 10% to 20% showed an IDE-free survival probability significantly greater than patients with a ki67 greater than 20%, with a p-value of 0.01. Our work shows that the adoption of two different ki67 values, namely, 10% and 20%, might be discriminant in designing personalized treatments for patients under 50 years old and over 50 years old, respectively.
