Outcome of Patients with Pregnancy-Associated Breast Cancer Who Have Subsequent Pregnancies.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundAfter treatment of pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC), some women desire future pregnancy. While safety of pregnancy after breast cancer has been demonstrated, the same cannot be said about women with PABC.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to describe the incidence and outcomes of patients with PABC with subsequent pregnancies compared with those without another pregnancy.
methodsA retrospective chart review identified patients diagnosed with breast cancer during pregnancy or within 5 years postpartum between 2011 and 2023. Patients were then screened for further pregnancy. Clinicopathologic variables, oncologic outcomes, and pregnancy outcomes were recorded. The Chi-square test and t-test were used to compare patients with subsequent pregnancy with those without. Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to estimate 5-year disease-free survival (DFS).
resultsOverall, 75 patients with PABC were identified, 58 of whom had PABC and no further pregnancies (NSP-PABC) and 17 with subsequent pregnancy (SP-PABC). Compared with patients with NSP-PABC, patients with SP-PABC were significantly younger (p = 0.015) and less likely to have prior pregnancies (p < 0.001). Overall median follow-up was 4.3 years. Calculated 5-year DFS rates were 86.2% and 89.0% for the SP-PABC and NSP-PABC groups, respectively (p = 0.76). Calculated 5-year overall survival was 100% and 90.7% for the SP-PABC and NSP-PABC groups, respectively (p = 0.22). Within the SP-PABC group, 14/17 patients had successful deliveries.
conclusionsThis study provides the first descriptions of patients with PABC and subsequent pregnancy. Additional investigation, likely with pooled analysis from multiple institutions, is necessary to determine the oncologic and obstetric safety of pregnancy following PABC.
