Patterns of distant metastasis and survival outcomes in
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Background: Is Methods: We included patients from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results program. Chi-square test, multivariate logistic regression analyses, and multivariate Cox regression models were used for statistical analyses. Results: A total of 17719 patients were included. There were 3.6% (n=638), 18.6% (n=3290), 38.0% (n=6725), and 39.9% (n=7066) of patients aged <35, 35-49, 50-64, and ≥65 years, respectively. Older patients had a significantly higher risk of lung metastasis and a significantly lower risk of liver metastasis. There were 19.1%, 25.6%, 30.9%, and 35.7% of patients with lung metastasis in those aged <35, 35-49, 50-64, and ≥65 years, respectively. Moreover, the proportion of liver metastasis was 37.6%, 29.5%, 26.3%, and 19.2%, respectively. Age was the independent prognostic factor associated with breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) and overall survival (OS). Those aged 50-64 years had significantly inferior BCSS (P<0.001) and OS (P<0.001) than those aged <35 years. Patients aged ≥65 years also had significantly lower BCSS (P<0.001) and OS (P<0.001) than those aged <35 years. However, similar outcomes were found between those aged 35-49 and <35 years. Conclusion: Our study suggests that different age groups may affect the metastatic patterns among patients with dnMBC and the survival of younger patients is more favorable than those of older patients.
