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

NCIC-CTG MA.5 and DBCG 89D are symmetrically designed randomized trials comparing adjuvant cyclophosphamide, epirubicin, and fluorouracil with cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil in high-risk breast cancer patients. In a joint analysis we evaluate the predictive value in terms of anthracycline benefit of molecular subtyping by PAM50. A statistically significant interaction (P = 0.008) between continuous Risk of Recurrence (ROR) score and treatment regimen is evident, translating into a clear distinct treatment effect according to ROR score category with HR 0.51 for ROR score ≥ 72 and HR 1.10 for ROR score < 52 (P
