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

Background and Objectives: Whether chemotherapy is needed in node-negative triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients with tumor size less than 1 cm is still controversial. In our research, we constructed a novel risk-scoring system to identify the potential TNBC patients benefiting from adjuvant chemotherapy in T1miN0M0, T1aN0M0, and T1bN0M0 stages. Methods: Relevant data were extracted from the SEER database. We applied Kaplan-Meier curves and the Cox hazards model for survival analysis and developed a nomogram of overall survival. The X-tile software was used for risk stratification. The information of TNBC patients treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University was used for the application of the model. Results: A total of 4266 patients who met the criteria of our study were included. T stage, age, race, surgery, and radiotherapy state were used to create the nomogram of overall survival. According to the total risk score, the patients were divided into high-risk (score g 73), median-risk (38 ≤ score < 73), and low-risk (score <38) groups. Chemotherapy can prolong the overall survival of patients in the median-risk and high-risk groups, while patients in the low-risk group can be exempted from chemotherapy. In addition, we also used the risk-scoring system in real-world patients as application and verification. Conclusion: We constructed a novel risk-scoring system that can be used as a chemotherapy decision-making tool for node-negative TNBC patients with tumor size less than 1 cm. Tumor size should not be the only criterion for chemotherapy treatment decision-making.
