Evaluation of adjuvant therapy for T1-2N1miM0 breast cancer without further axillary lymph node dissection.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Background: For breast cancer (BC) with sentinel lymph node micrometastases (SLNMs), there are limited data to guide the selection of postoperative adjuvant therapy. This study aimed to identify target populations who might benefit most from adjuvant therapy and examine prognostic factors among patients with T1-2N1miM0 BC with one or two SLNMs who underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) alone. Methods: There were 7,423 patients diagnosed with T1-2N1miM0 BC between 2010 and 2015, and patients with one or two SLNMs were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. All the patients underwent SLNB alone without further axillary lymph node dissection, and they were stratified according to adjuvant therapy. The statistical significance of categorical variables was analyzed using the Results: Adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy improved 5-year OS rates. Multivariate analysis revealed that age ≥70 years, high grade, T2 stage, triple-negative subtype, and absence of radiotherapy were poor prognostic factors for OS. Patients who received breast-conserving surgery (BCS), and those with invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), luminal A, luminal B, or basal-like subtype, and T1c or T2 stage benefited from adjuvant radiotherapy. Patients who received BCS, and those with IDC, luminal A subtype, and T1b, T1c, or T2 stage benefited from adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusion: Our findings provide a clinical evaluation of treatment choice after surgery, which may help clinicians make individualized clinical decisions.
