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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive and heterogeneous disease, highlighting the need for better patient stratification to guide treatment. We developed a deep learning-based survival model and an individualized prognosis system using data from 37,818 TNBC patients in the SEER database (split into training [65%], validation [17.5%], and test [17.5%] sets). The survival model, built using the pysurvival algorithm, achieved strong performance (C-index: 0.824 in validation set, 0.816 in test set), outperforming traditional methods (CPH: 0.781 and 0.785; RSH: 0.779 and 0.766). External validation on a real-world cohort confirmed its robustness (C-index: 0.758). Our individualized prognosis system also showed higher predictive accuracy than traditional AJCC-TNM staging (AUC 0.821 vs. 0.771). These tools improve TNBC prognosis assessment, enable better patient stratification, and provide clinicians with significant treatment recommendations.
