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

backgroundCardiovascular disease competes with breast cancer (BC) as the leading cause of death for females diagnosed with breast cancer. Not much is known concerning morbidity and medicine use in the short and long term after a BC diagnosis.

aimThe aim of this study was to determine acute and long-term morbidity in Danish women treated for BC.

methodA nationwide registry-based cohort study of 100,834 BC patients identified in the clinical database of Danish Breast Cancer Cooperative Group (DBCG) and 1,100,320 (10 per patient) age-matched Danish women without BC, serving as controls. Morbidity was studied using complete data on hospital contacts and medicinal use.

resultsThe risk of hospital contacts was significantly increased in BC survivors compared with controls evaluated both by means of Cox regression and negative binomial regression analysis both during and after cessation of breast cancer treatment. Young age at breast cancer diagnosis was associated with the most pronounced increase in risk of hospital contacts, both during and after cessation of BC treatment. Medicinal use was significantly increased among BC patients compared to controls, both during (HR 1.27 (1.26-1.28), p < 0.0001) and after BC treatment (HR 1.18 (1.17-1.19), p < 0.0001, and present for all subgroups of medicine.

conclusionOverall, BC survivors have a pronounced increase in hospital contacts and medicinal use compared to women without BC. Premenopausal status at BC diagnosis was associated with an overall higher excess morbidity and a higher burden both during and after treatment.
