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

background27-hydroxycholesterol (HC) and 25-HC were identified as endogenous selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) and estrogen receptor (ER) modulators, respectively. They are hypothesized to play a role in multiple physiologic processes and pathologies, including breast cancer development and progression.

methodsWe evaluated circulating 27-HC and 25-HC, and outcomes following a breast cancer diagnosis in 2282 women from the MARIE study over median follow-up of 11.6 years. 27-HC and 25-HC were quantified by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. We calculated hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals [CI] using multivariable Cox Proportional Hazards regression.

resultsWe observed no associations between 27-HC and breast cancer prognosis overall. Associations between 27-HC and survival differed by circulating estradiol concentrations and endocrine therapy, but not by hormone receptor status. Among women with estradiol levels below the median (0.08 nM), 27-HC was associated with higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR

conclusionAssociations between 27-HC and breast cancer prognosis varied by circulating estradiol levels and endocrine therapy. Less consistent results were observed for 25-HC.
