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

Background/Aim: This study evaluated whether Wirsching Psychosocial Risk (WPR) scale for measuring the severity of psychosocial risk (PR) factors can predict the long-term outcomes in patients having breast carcinoma (BC) symptoms. Patients and Methods: A totalof 115 patients with BC symptoms completed the WPR scale and associations between WPR scale and long-term outcome were analyzed using survival models. Results: The WPRS scores correlated to Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) Conclusion: The studies assessing the impact of PR factors on outcome of patients with BC symptoms have not reported WPRS levels. In the present study, a 25-year follow-up of patients with BC symptoms enables us to detect the 25-year outcome and to assess the RFS and OS
