Construction and validation of a nomogram for predicting the prognosis of breast cancer patients who received adjuvant therapy: an analysis based on the SEER database.
Article in Gland surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women globally. Despite advances in primary treatment, the role of adjuvant therapy in reducing recurrence and improving survival is critical; however, there is a notable lack of tailored prognostic models for patients receiving adjuvant therapy. This study used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to develop a prognostic nomogram for breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant therapy. Methods: The data of breast cancer patients who received adjuvant therapy after surgery in 2014-2015 were extracted from the SEER database. Univariate Cox regression identified significant prognostic variables that were further refined by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and cross-validation analyses. These variables were incorporated into a multivariate Cox regression analysis to establish the predictive model. This model was visualized and validated using various statistical measures. Results: A total of 54,960 patients were included in the study, with 38,472 in the training set and 16,488 in the validation set. Age, sex, race, marital status, grade, tumor (T) stage, lymph node (N) stage, subtype, and radiotherapy were found to be significant independent risk factors of 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS). The receiver operating characteristic curve area for 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS was >0.76 in both sets. The consistency index values were 0.768 and 0.763 for the training and validation sets, respectively. The calibration curves showed good fit, and the nomogram exhibited substantial clinical utility. Conclusions: Incorporating various significant factors, the constructed nomogram was able to effectively predict the prognosis of breast cancer patients who received adjuvant therapy. This nomogram extends understandings of complex prognosis scenarios. In addition, it could enhance personalized treatment plans and assist in patient counseling.
