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: If lymph node metastasis occurs in breast cancer patients, the disease can progress rapidly. Based on the infiltrative immune cells of breast cancer patients with lymph node positivity, we constructed the LNPRS for selecting prognostic predictors. Methods: The LNPRS was established and the predictive value of the LNPRS was verified by independent testing cohorts. A nomogram was also established to confirm the therapeutic guidance significance of the LNPRS. The correlation of the LNPRS with tumor mutation burden, immune microenvironment score, immune checkpoints, the proportion of tumor-infiltrating immune cells, and GSEA and GSVA enrichment pathways were also evaluated. Results: In the training cohort, the overall survival of breast cancer patients who had high LNPRS was shorter than that of patients who had low LNPRS (7.98 years versus 20.42 years, P-value< 8.16E-11). The AUC values for 5-, 10-, and 15-years were 0.787, 0.739, and 0.800, respectively. The ability to predict prognosis for the LNPRS was also tested in 3 independent testing cohorts. Furthermore, the predictive value of the LNPRS for chemotherapy and immunotherapy was also proven. The GSEA and GSVA showed that the LNPRS was closely related to the activation of T and B lymphocytes and IFN-γ secretion. Moreover, breast cancer patients with low LNPRS had higher TME scores than those with high LNPRS. Conclusion: We can conclude that the LNPRS is a robust prognostic biomarker in breast cancer patients with positive lymph nodes and may be helpful for patients to make a clinical decision.
