Impact of Marital Status on Prognosis of Patients With Invasive Breast Cancer: A Population-Based Study Using SEER Database.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic roles of marital status in patients with invasive breast cancer. Method: We extracted the data of patients with invasive breast cancer who were diagnosed during 2010-2015 and had complete staging and molecular typing from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-18 database. Kaplan-Meier curve method and Cox regression analysis were performed to investigate the differences in breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and overall survival (OS) in the total population and various subgroups with different marital statuses. Results: Among the 324,062 patients with breast cancer in this study, 55.0%, 40.0%, and 5.0% were married, unmarried, and unknown, respectively; 51.8%, 32.2%, 10.5%, and 5.5% were patients with Stages I, II, III, and IV breast cancer, respectively. The 5-year BCSS and OS of married patients were 92.6% and 88.1%, respectively, higher than those of unmarried patients (88.3% and 78.1%, Conclusions: In conclusion, marital status was an independent prognostic factor for breast cancer. The unmarried patients with breast cancer had a worse prognosis, except for the subgroup with age <35 years. Hence, unmarried patients with breast cancer and age ≥35 years may need additional psychosocial and emotional support to achieve more prolonged survival, besides active treatment of primary disease.
