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

Background: Conditional survival (CS) is defined as the possibility of further survival after patients have survived for several years since diagnosis. This may be highly valuable for real-time prognostic monitoring, especially when considering individualized factors. Such prediction tools were lacking for non-metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Therefore, this study estimated CS and developed a novel CS-nomogram for real-time prediction of 10-year survival. Methods: We recruited 32,836 non-metastatic TNBC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2010-2019), who were divided into training and validation groups according to a 7:3 ratio. The Kaplan-Meier method estimated overall survival (OS), and the CS was calculated using the formula CS(y|x) =OS(y+x)/OS(x), where OS(x) and OS(y+x) were the survival of x- and (x+y)-years, respectively. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression identified predictors to develop the CS-nomogram. Results: CS analysis reported gradual improvement in real-time survival over time since diagnosis, with 10-year OS updated annually from an initial 69.9% to 72.8%, 78.1%, 83.0%, 87.0%, 90.3%, 93.0%, 95.0%, 97.0%, and 98.9% (after 1-9 years of survival, respectively). The LASSO regression identified age, marriage, race, T status, N status, chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy as predictors of CS-nomogram development. This model had a satisfactory predictive performance with a stable 10-year time-dependent area under the curves (AUCs) between 0.75 and 0.86. Conclusions: Survival of non-metastatic TNBC survivors improved dynamically and non-linearly with survival time. The study developed a CS-nomogram that provided more accurate prognostic data than traditional nomograms, aiding clinical decision-making and reducing patient anxiety.
