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

objectiveBreast cancer (BC) in non-Caucasian females is understudied and its management is based on Caucasian data. 30 % of the West Midlands females are non-Caucasian. We aimed to elucidate the pathologic features, molecular profile, and outcome of non-Caucasian breast cancer.

methodsBreast cancers (BCs) of different ethnic origins diagnosed at a large Birmingham tertiary referral hospital between 2000 and 2016 were identified. Detailed clinical and histological data were collected and statistically analyzed.

resultsOut of 7554 BC cases, 749 were of ethnic ancestry and median age of 51 years. These comprised 47 in-situ and 702 invasive carcinomas of presenting symptomatically in 86.2% of patients. 53.4% of the invasive carcinomas measured >20 mm. Cancers were predominantly of grade 3 (45%), and grade 2 (42.4%). Median NPI was 4.35. 65.1% of the ethnic carcinomas were of luminal subtype, 18.6% were Her2 positive and 16.2% triple-negative. Median overall survival was 62 months. Five and ten-year survival was 81.7% & 68.4% respectively. Ethnicity correlated with higher NPI (p <0.001), larger tumour size (p= 0.001) and larger number of positive axillary nodes (p=0.007). Negative correlations were found between age at diagnosis and both invasive tumour size & grade (p< 0.001) and between tumour grade and overall survival (p= 0.006).

conclusionCompared with Caucasian breast cancer, non-Caucasian tumours presented predominantly symptomatically at younger age, were of larger size, higher grade with more unfavorable phenotypes and shorter survival. This is important in counselling, planning management and follow up of non-Caucasian patients.
