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

introductionBreast cancer, a heterogeneous disease, is influenced by multiple genetic and epigenetic factors. The majority of prognostic models for breast cancer focus merely on the main effects of predictors, disregarding the crucial impacts of gene-gene interactions on prognosis.

objectivesUsing DNA methylation data derived from nine independent breast cancer cohorts, we developed an independently validated prognostic prediction model of breast cancer incorporating epigenetic biomarkers with main effects and gene-gene interactions (ARTEMIS) with an innovative 3-D modeling strategy. ARTEMIS was evaluated for discrimination ability using area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC), and calibration using expected and observed (E/O) ratio. Additionally, we conducted decision curve analysis to evaluate its clinical efficacy by net benefit (NB) and net reduction (NR). Furthermore, we conducted a systematic review to compare its performance with existing models.

resultsARTEMIS exhibited excellent risk stratification ability in identifying patients at high risk of mortality. Compared to those below the 25th percentile of ARTEMIS scores, patients with above the 90th percentile had significantly lower overall survival time (HR = 15.43, 95% CI: 9.57-24.88, P = 3.06 × 10

conclusionARTEMIS is an efficient and practical tool for breast cancer prognostic prediction.
