Association of Body Mass Index With 21-Gene Recurrence Score Among Women With Estrogen Receptor-Positive, ERBB2-Negative Breast Cancer.
Article in JAMA network open, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Importance: Body mass index (BMI) may affect the 21-gene recurrence score (RS) in patients with ER-positive, ERBB2-negative breast cancer. If high BMI increases genomic risk in ER-positive, ERBB2-negative breast cancer, weight control will become more important. Objective: To assess the association between RS and BMI according to age groups and address BMI as a factor associated with high RS. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cohort study included 2295 patients with ER-positive, ERBB2-negative breast cancer who had undergone a multigene assay between March 29, 2010, and December 31, 2020, in 2 hospitals. All of the study patients were Korean women, and the median follow-up period was 45 months (range, 1-40 months). The correlations between continuous RS and BMI were investigated. A high BMI was defined as a body mass index greater than or equal to 25. In the younger age group (age ≤45 years), a high RS was defined as an RS of greater than 20. Exposures: Body mass index. Main Outcomes and Measures: The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to estimate the association between RS and BMI. A multivariable binary logistic model was used to identify high RS. Results: Among the 2295 women included (mean [SD] age, 49.8 [4.00] years; range, 22-81 years), 776 were aged 45 years or younger; RS and BMI were weakly correlated (correlation coefficient, 0.119; P < .001) in this younger group. Among them, the proportion of patients with an RS greater than 20 was significantly higher in the high BMI group than in the normal BMI group (45.5% [46 of 101] vs 27.3% [184 of 675]; P < .001). In the multivariable analysis, high BMI was an associated factor for high RS (odds ratio, 2.06; 95% CI, 1.28-3.32; P = .003). The 21-gene multigene assay-guided chemotherapy rate was significantly higher in patients with high BMI (30.7% [31 of 101] vs 20.2% [136 of 674]; P = .02). Conclusions and Relevance: In this cohort study of women aged 45 years or younger, high BMI was associated with higher RS in those with ER-positive, ERBB2-negative breast cancer; further studies are necessary to examine the underlying mechanisms.
