Full Compliance of Adjuvant Endocrine Therapy Is Associated with Higher Disease-Free Survival in Hormone Receptor-Positive and HER2-Negative Chinese Breast Cancer Patients with First Tumor Recurrence.
Article in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo characterize the compliance status of adjuvant endocrine therapy (aET) and its relationship with disease-free survival (DFS) in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and HER2-negative (HER2-) in Chinese breast cancer (BC) patients with first tumor recurrence.
methodsAll women with primary unilateral stage I - III HR+HER2- BC and first tumor recurrence in 2008 - 2018 at our institution were identified. Full (vs. none/partial) compliance of aET was classified from records. Multivariate Cox regression estimated the hazard ratio (HR), its 95% confidence interval (CI), and p value. DFS. Covariates included age, T stage, N stage, pathology, tumor grade, LVI, chemotherapy, radiotherapy. Results: A total 258 patients had average age 47.4 years at BC diagnosis and median DFS 31.7 months. Patients with ipsilateral (contralateral) region and organ recurrence were 47.7% (19.8%) and 71.9%. Compared to the patients with none/partial compliance of aET, the full compliance patients (54.3% ) had a higher DFS (median 35.0 vs. 25.2 months, p=0.009). Multivariate analysis showed that the full compliance of aET was associated with a lower HR 0.614 (95%CI 0.467 - 0.807, p<0.001) on recurrence. Early discontinuation (67.5%, 56/83) due to the drug side effects was the top reason for partial compliance of aET.
conclusionsFull compliance of aET was quite low in Chinese HR+HER2- BC patients. However, it was associated with a 38.6% lower risk of first tumor recurrence. To search for effective tools to improve the compliance of aET in this population should be stressed.
