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

purposeBlack women have higher rates of death from triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) than White women. We hypothesized that pathologic complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and overall survival (OS) may vary by race/ethnicity in patients with TNBC.

methodsWe identified women 18 years and older with stage I-III TNBC who received NAC followed by surgery from the National Cancer Database (2010-2019). We excluded patients without race/ethnicity or pathology data. Primary outcomes were pCR rates and OS on the basis of race/ethnicity.

resultsForty thousand eight hundred ninety women with TNBC met inclusion criteria (median age [IQR], 53 [44-61] years): 26,150 Non-Hispanic White (64%, NHW), 9,672 Non-Hispanic Black (23.7%, NHB), 3,267 Hispanic (8%), 1,368 Non-Hispanic Asian (3.3%, NHA), and 433 Non-Hispanic Other (1.1%, NHO) patients. Overall, 29.8% demonstrated pCR (NHW: 30.5%, NHB: 27%, Hispanic: 32.6%, NHA: 28.8%, NHO: 29.8%). Unadjusted OS was significantly higher for those with pCR compared with those with residual disease (5-year OS, 0.917 [95% CI, 0.911 to 0.923]

conclusionOdds of achieving pCR and OS in patients with TNBC appear to be associated with race/ethnicity. Additional research is necessary to understand how race/ethnicity is associated with rates of pCR and OS, whether related to socioeconomic factors or biologic variables, or both.
