Comparing the Prognoses of Breast-Conserving Surgeries for Differently Aged Women with Early Stage Breast Cancer: Use of a Propensity Score Method.
Article in The breast journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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: To explore the effect of age on the prognosis of patients with early stage breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery (BCS) and to provide references for young patients. Methods: All clinical data of patients with early breast cancer undergoing BCS who were treated at Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2011 to May 2016 were obtained. The primary endpoints were local recurrence (LR) and distant recurrence, and the secondary endpoint was breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS). Chi-squared tests and Fisher's exact tests were used for statistical analysis. Disease-free survival (DFS) and BCSS were calculated by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and compared using log-rank tests. Logistic regression was used for multivariable analysis of the effect of age in different subgroups. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to reduce the bias confounding factors on oncological outcomes. Results: Younger patients had higher Ki-67 expression ( Conclusion: BCS for young patients is not associated with increased DFS nor BCSS. However, young patients with triple-negative breast cancer and/or Ki-67 positivity have a poor prognosis. In sum, BCS may be appropriate for a subgroup of young patients.
