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.
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
backgroundLate distant recurrence (DR) remains a significant challenge in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive/Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer, especially in premenopausal patients. This study aimed to develop a machine-learning model predicting late DR risk in premenopausal patients and to assess the clinical benefit of extended endocrine therapy (ET) according to risk stratification.
methodsThis retrospective multicenter study included patients aged ≤45 years with ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer who underwent surgery between January 2000 and December 2011. This study was designed as a landmark analysis, with the effective baseline set at 5 years after surgery. Eligible patients had five to 10 years of follow-up and received adjuvant ET for at least two years. The primary outcome was late DR, defined as distant metastasis occurring between five and 10 years after surgery.
resultsAmong 1701 included patients (median age, 41 years), late DR occurred in 108 patients (6.3%). A machine-learning model using eight clinicopathologic variables demonstrated strong predictive performance (AUC = 0.78). Patients classified as high-risk by the model exhibited significantly worse late DMFS compared to low-risk patients (HR,7.36; 95% CI,4.43-12.20; P<0.001). Among high-risk patients, those who received extended ET had significantly improved late DMFS compared to those who did not (HR,0.32; 95% CI,0.18-0.55; P < 0.001). In low-risk patients, extended ET was not associated with a statistically significant benefit (HR,0.45; 95% CI,0.16-1.22; P = 0.081).
conclusionThe machine-learning model effectively stratified patients into distinct DR risk groups and highlighted the benefit of extended ET in high-risk patients. This model supports tailored decision-making regarding extended ET in premenopausal patients with ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer.
