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

backgroundImmune and inflammatory blood parameters have been reported as biomarkers for treatment efficacy. This study aimed to establish a predictive model that includes blood parameters for patients with metastatic breast cancer treated with eribulin.

methodsA total of 297 patients were enrolled, and their baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, absolute lymphocyte count (ALC), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP), and clinical data were retrospectively collected.

resultsWe constructed nomograms to predict overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) using blood parameters, including clinical factors. For OS, menopausal status, hormone receptor status, HER2 status, de novo or recurrent, metastatic site, treatment line, ALC, PLR, PNI, LMR, LDH, and CRP were selected to predict the model. We used menopausal status, hormone receptor status, HER2 status, treatment line, PLR, LMR, LDH, and CRP to predict PFS. Both the OS and PFS of patients according to the risk scores were significantly different (p < 0.001). The optimism-corrected C-indices of the nomograms for OS and PFS were 0.680 and 0.622, respectively. The mean time-dependent area under the receiver operating curve values for OS at 1, 2, and 3 years were 0.752, 0.761, and 0.784, respectively, and for PFS at 3, 6, and 12 months were 0.660, 0.661, and 0.650, respectively.

conclusionNomograms incorporating peripheral blood parameters may improve the accuracy of predicting OS and PFS in patients treated with eribulin. Our prediction model may help decision-making for breast cancer patients who are considering eribulin treatment.
