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: Mastectomy rates are increasing in young patients despite few data supporting improved outcomes. We investigated the association between surgical approach and survival in young patients with breast cancer. Materials and Methods: Retrospective review identified women ≤40 years old with operable, non-metastatic invasive breast cancer treated between 2010-2019. Cox proportional hazard analyses, stratified by hormone receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status, identified factors associated with increased risk of recurrence and death. Results: Of 588 patients, 65% underwent mastectomy and 35% breast conserving surgery (BCS). Median follow-up was 5.9 years. Overall recurrence and mortality rates were 15% and 12%, respectively. On multivariable analysis, black race [hazard ratio (HR), 2.14 (1.26-3.61), Conclusion: OS does not differ by surgery type in young patients with breast cancer. Future research should focus on racial disparities in breast cancer care.
