Survival and Predictors in Patients With Breast Cancer Undergoing Surgery for Spinal Metastases: Insights From a Single-Center Cohort.

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
Background: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy among women globally, with spinal metastases significantly impacting morbidity and mortality. Surgical intervention plays a crucial role in managing symptomatic spinal lesions, yet prognostic factors and outcomes remain areas of active investigation. This study aims to evaluate survival rates and identify predictors in patients with breast cancer undergoing surgery for spinal metastases. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 97 patients who underwent surgery for spinal breast cancer metastases at a single center over a 12-year period. Data included epidemiological and preoperative profiles, biological markers, and radiological findings. Survival outcomes were assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis, and prognostic factors were analyzed via Cox regression. Results: Postoperative overall survival rates were 72%, 64%, and 34% at 1, 2, and 5 years, respectively. Significant predictors of survival included tobacco use (HR 1.7, Conclusion: This study provides one of the largest single-center experiences of surgery for spinal metastases from breast cancer in the modern treatment era. We found that overall preoperative performance and biological markers, remains a key predictor of survival, while neurological status, disease spread and spinal instability have no impact than in long-term survival. These results reflect advances in systemic therapy and surgical care, supporting surgery as an important part of multidisciplinary management for selected patients.
