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

Purpose Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most lethal group of breast cancers. Socioeconomic factors may contribute to differences in survival rates. This study aims to identify racial/ethnic disparities in five-year survival rates among women affected by TNBC in the United States. Methods This retrospective study analyzed data from the 2010-2016 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program database. Patients with a primary malignancy of triple-negative breast cancer were included in this study. Cancer-specific survival was measured at five years post-diagnosis. Cox regression models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI). Results From 2010-2016, there were 26,963 women with a primary diagnosis of TNBC. After adjustment for age, insurance, marital status, stage, and surgery type, Hispanic women had the highest hazard of death when compared to White women (adjusted (adj) HR, 1.14, p<0.001). Further, non-Hispanic Black women also had a lower survival probability when compared to White women (adj HR, 1.06, p=0.002). Conclusion This study reveals that Hispanic women had the highest hazard of death when compared to White women. As TNBC is the most fatal breast cancer, future studies should investigate socioeconomic factors that may worsen prognosis of this disease.
