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

purposeThe main aim of this study was to estimate breast cancer survival in Poland over the period from 2000 to 2019 in both sexes.

methodsData were obtained from the Polish National Cancer Registry. The presented metrics included age-standardized 5- and 10-year net survival (NS), median survival times, years of life lost (YLLs), and standardized mortality ratios (SMRs).

resultsBetween 2000 and 2019, 315,278 patients (2353 men and 312,925 women; male-to-female ratio 1/100) were diagnosed with breast cancer in Poland. In this period, 721,987 YLLs were linked to breast cancer. Women presented a higher 5- and 10-year age-standardized NS than men (5-year NS: 77.33% for women and 65.47% for men, P < 0.001, common language effect size (CL) 1.00; 10-year NS: 68.75% for women and 49.50% for men, P < 0.001, CL 1.00). Between the earliest and latest studied period, namely 2000-2004 and 2015-2019, there was a statistically significant increase only in female survival (+ 7.32 pp, P < 0.001, CL 1.00). SMRs were significantly higher for women than for men (3.35 vs. 2.89, respectively).

conclusionOver the last two decades, breast cancer survival in Poland has improved significantly. Nonetheless, special attention should be given to the disparities between sexes and the gap in overall improvement of survival rates compared with other European countries.
