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

backgroundMany studies have examined patient-related factors affecting adjuvant hormone therapy adherence in patients with breast cancer. Our study aimed to examine associations of family-related factors with adjuvant hormone therapy discontinuation and breast cancer-specific mortality.

methodsBy cross-linking 7 Swedish health registers, we performed a cohort study that included all patients with breast cancer who initiated adjuvant hormone therapy during 2006-2019 in Sweden (N = 10 701). A group-based multitrajectory model was used to identify familial adversity groups based on 3 dimensions: material deprivation, negative family dynamics, and loss or threat of loss. Cox proportional hazard models were used to investigate associations of familial adversity with hormone therapy discontinuation and breast cancer-specific mortality.

resultsWe identified 5 distinctive familial adversity groups among the cohort participants. Compared with women who had low familial adversity, higher risks to discontinue adjuvant hormone therapy were observed among women with material deprivation (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.31, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.20 to 1.43), negative family dynamics (HR = 1.16, 95% CI = 1.06 to 1.28), loss or threat of loss (HR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.00 to 1.32), or high familial adversity (HR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.40 to 1.68). Furthermore, women with material deprivation (HR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.05 to 1.79), negative family dynamics (HR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.01 to 1.97), or high adversity (HR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.26 to 2.23) were at higher risk of dying from breast cancer.

conclusionFamilial adversity is associated with a higher risk of adjuvant hormone therapy discontinuation and breast cancer-specific mortality. Family-related factors identified in our study may help identify high-risk patients for interventions to prevent treatment discontinuation and subsequently improve breast cancer outcomes.
