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

background and purposeHigh-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue (HDCT) is currently under investigation as a potential therapy for patients with stage III HER2-negative breast cancer with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). In addition to survival, the impact on short- and long-term side effects might influence the uptake of HDCT by healthcare professionals. As part of the SUBITO trial, we investigated healthcare professionals' treatment (outcome) preferences for patients with HRD stage III HER2-negative breast cancer and established how healthcare professionals make trade-offs between these treatment outcomes. PATIENTS/MATERIAL AND

methodsWe conducted a discrete choice experiment in which healthcare professionals were asked to choose repeatedly between scenarios with two treatment options (HDCT or standard of care (SOC)) that varied in outcome with respect to 10-year overall survival (OS), short-term toxicity, long-term cognitive impairment, and premature menopause. We analysed treatment preferences, relative importance, and trade-offs using a multinomial logistic model. RESULTS AND

interpretationThirty-five of the 151 dedicated breast cancer professionals with extensive experience in treating breast cancer patients completed the survey. The 10-year OS and long-term cognitive impairment were the most important attributes. The results indicate a requirement of 10.4% and 25.1% absolute additional improvement in the 10-year survival rate to justify accepting moderate or severe long-term cognitive impairment as a trade-off, respectively. Therefore, we found in our dataset that healthcare professionals expected a large improvement in 10-year OS to accept moderate to severe cognitive impairment. This information calls for further research into chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment, shared decision-making, and treatment preferences for patients with stage III breast cancer.
