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

backgroundAggressive metastasis directed treatment of extracranial oligometastatic breast cancer with the aim of increasing disease-free survival has emerged as a new potential treatment paradigm, however there is currently a lack of data to assist in identifying the subset of patients who will potentially benefit most. This single-institute retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate survival outcomes for patients with a solitary extracranial metastasis from breast cancer and to assess for significant prognostic factors. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Medical records of 70 female breast cancer patients with a solitary extracranial metastasis actively managed at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (PMCC) Melbourne Campus between 2000 and 2019 were reviewed. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate overall survival (OS), local progression free survival (LPFS) and distant progression free survival (DPFS).

resultsMedian follow-up period was 9.4 years. The study included 40 hormone receptor positive/HER2 negative (HR+HER2-), 14 hormone receptor positive/HER2 positive (HR+HER2+), 3 hormone receptor negative/HER2 positive (HR-HER2+), 9 triple negative (TNBC) and 4 unclassified breast cancer patients. 5-year OS rate for all patients was 46%, LPFS rate was 56% and DPFS was 20%. Tumour receptor group had a statistically significant association with OS and DPFS rates. TNBC patients had significantly poorer OS and DPFS rates in comparison to HR+HER2-patients.

conclusionAmong patients with a solitary extracranial metastasis from breast cancer, TNBC was associated with the poorest OS and DPFS rates. Identification of other significant prognostic factors for oligometastatic breast cancer patients may inform guidelines for metastasis directed treatments.
