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: The lungs are one of the common sites of metastasis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Patients with lung metastases (LM) have a shorter duration of survival. This study is aimed at determining the prognostic factors of patients with TNBC with LM and constructing two nomograms to assess the risk of LM and the prognosis of patients with TNBC with LM. Methods: Clinicopathological and follow-up data of patients with TNBC between 2010 and 2015 were retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to screen for independent predictors of LM in patients with TNBC and identify the independent prognostic factors of patients with TNBC with LM. The two nomograms were appraised using calibration curves, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: A total of 27,048 patients with TNBC were included in this study. Age, tumour size, T stage, and N stage were identified as independent risk factors for LM in patients with TNBC. Histological type, marital status, prior surgery, chemotherapy, bone metastases, brain metastases, and LM were confirmed as independent prognostic factors for patients with TNBC with LM. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the diagnostic nomogram was 0.838 (95% confidence interval 0.817-0.860) in the training cohort and 0.894 (95% confidence interval 0.875-0.917) in the verification cohort. The AUC values of the 6-, 12-, and 18-month prognostic nomograms in the training cohort were 0.809 (95% confidence interval 0.771-0.868), 0.779 (95% confidence interval 0.737-0.834), and 0.735 (95% confidence interval 0.699-0.811), respectively, and the corresponding AUC values in the validation cohort were 0.735(95% confidence interval 0.642-0.820), 0.672 (95% confidence interval 0.575-0.758), and 0.705 (95% confidence interval 0.598-0.782), respectively. According to the calibration curves and data analysis, both nomograms exhibited good performance. Conclusion: We successfully constructed and verified two valuable nomograms for predicting the incidence of LM and prognosis of patients TNBC with LM.
