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

Some triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients evaluated as Miller-Payne 4 with ypN0 after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) who have better prognoses should avoid escalation of therapy. We aim to identify these patients by evaluating pretherapeutic spatial distributions of immunophenotypes. Our retrospective study in patients with TNBC assessed as Miller-Payne grade 4/5 with ypN0 showed that Miller-Payne 4 with ypN0 group had poorer 5-year disease-free survival (DFS, 63.8% vs. 83.0%, p = 0.003) and the 5-year overall survival (OS, 71.0% vs. 85.5%, p = 0.007) than Miller-Payne 5 with ypN0 group. High TILs were significantly associated with better DFS and OS in patients with Miller-Payne 4 and ypN0 (both p = 0.016). Spatially, detected by multiplexed ion beam imaging by the time of flight combined with proteomics, tumors assessed as Miller-Payne 4 and ypN0 with good prognosis exhibited an inflamed phenotype, with dominant CD8+ T cells on tumor center, few scattered CD68+ myeloid-derived cells far away from T cells, and deposit of increased activated molecules of lymphocyte. While those with poor prognoses presented excluded phenotypes, with few CD8+ T cells restricted to invasive margins and a high density of CD14
