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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the association of sTILs with clinicopathological parameters and overall survival (OS) in patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC).
methodsOne hundred and twenty-five paraffin embedded tissue of patients with TNBC, collected from Dr. Sardjito General Hospital Yogyakarta, Indonesia, between 2008-2017, were used in this study. Stromal TILs were examined from hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained samples, and classified as either low or high score using 20% cut-off. Analysis of the association of sTILs with clinicopathological parameters, relative risk (RR) and OS used 95% confidence interval (CI) with significance set as p<0.05.
resultsThe higher proportion of TNBC patients in this study were ≥40 years old (83.3%), high tumor grade (68%), tumor stage >IIIa (56%), alive (50.4%), and with low sTILs (54.4%). The results showed significant association between sTILs and a higher grade or a lower stage of tumor (B = 0.259, 95%CI = 0.090-0.468, p = 0.004 and B = -0.255, 95%CI = -0.433 - -0.080, p = 0.005, respectively ). Meanwhile sTILs were not associated with age at diagnosis (B = 0.027, 95%CI = -0.193 - 0.264 p = 0.758 nor 3-year OS of patients (HR = 0.342, 95%CI = 0.41 - 1.43 p = 0.402).
conclusionThe results indicate that sTILs may serve as an additional pathological parameter for TNBC.
