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

Breast cancer is the primary type of cancer affecting women. Patients with hormone receptor-positive cells have lower mortality rates. Both chemotherapy and hormone therapy can improve the survival rate. This study aimed to evaluate the hormonal receptor status in female breast cancer and assess the relationship with the patient's age and family history in Najaf, Iraq. A prospective study of two-hundred and fifty-one women with mastectomies (for cancers) was performed at AL Sader Medical City from January 2019 to January 2021. We collected and analyzed data regarding the age of patients, site and size of the tumor, number of pregnancies, family history, weight, smoking, and hormone receptor status. The average age of patients was 48 years, and the peak incidence was in the 40-49 age group (30.27% of patients). Of all age groups, 48.6% (122 patients) were negative for all hormone receptors (triple negative), and only 22.70% had a positive family history. The peak incidence of cancer in our study was in the 40-49 years group. A high proportion of the hormone receptors for patients were negative (triple-negative), and most patients had a negative family history.
