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

Objective: This study aimed to explore the differences in risk factors for mortality between T2N1M0 and T3N0M0 lobular breast cancer, and investigate the factors associated with non-lobular breast cancer mortality. Methods: Data from 2,693 T2N1M0 and 1,384 T3N0M0 lobular breast cancer patients from the SEER database (2008-2018) were analyzed. The lobular breast cancer-specific and non-lobular breast cancer mortality were compared using the Kaplan-Meier curve and Log-rank test. The Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors associated with non-lobular breast cancer mortality. Results: The total survival time showed a significant difference between the T2N1M0 and T3N0M0 groups (p = 0.0011). Statistically significant difference were found in lung-related disease mortality (p = 0.0023), with the survival rate of T2N1M0 higher than that of T3N0M0. Age, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy were independent factors associated with mortality in lung-related disease patients with both subtypes, and compared with T2N1M0, radiotherapy in T3N0M0 increased the risk of lung-related disease mortality (HR = 2.076, 95% CI: 1.4318-3.011). Conclusion: The T3N0M0 group had a higher mortality rate from lung-related diseases compared to the T2N1M0 group, and radiotherapy may increase the risk of lung-related disease death in T3N0M0 patients. These findings provide valuable information for treatment strategies for T2N1M0 and T3N0M0 subtypes of patients and assist physicians and patients make better treatment choices.
