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

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers with an increasing trend in both incidence and mortality rates in Iran. Survival analysis is a pivotal measure in setting appropriate care plans.  To the best of our knowledge, this study is pioneering in Iran, introducing a multi-method approach using a Deep Neural Network (DNN) and 11 conventional machine learning (ML) methods to predict the 5 year survival of women with breast cancer. Supplying data from two centers comprising a total of 2644 records and incorporating external validation further distinguishes the study. Thirty-four features were selected based on a literature review and common variables in both datasets. Feature selection was also performed using a p value criterion (< 0.05) and a survey involving oncologists. A total of 108 models were trained. According to external validation, the DNN model trained with the Shiraz dataset, considering all features, exhibited the highest accuracy (85.56%). While the DNN model showed superior accuracy in external validation, it did not consistently achieve the highest performance across all evaluation metrics. Notably, models trained with the Shiraz dataset outperformed those trained with the Tehran dataset, possibly due to the lower number of missing values in the Shiraz dataset.
