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

purposeDense breast (DB) is recognized as a breast cancer (BC) risk factor. Although DB is common in Japanese women, the incidence of BC is lower than in Caucasians. We evaluated whether DB is a risk factor or whether there are other risk factors for BC in Japanese women. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 635 BC patients and 999 controls who received a mammography at our hospital between February 2019 and March 2021. Volumetric breast density percentage (VBD%), breast volume (BV), and fibroglandular volume (FGV) were measured using Volpara

resultsOf the BC group and the control group, 77% and 79% had DB. The stratified FGV was positively associated with BC risk (odds ratio: 2.84; 95% confidence interval 1.58-5.12; P < 0.001). No significant association was found between either the VBD% or BV and BC risk.

conclusionThe proportion of Japanese women with DB was high, suggesting that DB might not be significantly associated with BC risk. However, our results also suggested that the FGV may be related to BC risk in Japanese women.
