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

purposeRecommendations for clinical management of women with germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in breast cancer susceptibility genes vary by gene. The goal of this study was to examine the utilization of risk-reducing strategies and treatments in women with germline PVs in breast cancer susceptibility genes.

methodsThis cross-sectional study identified women with a PV in at least one of 13 breast cancer susceptibility genes from germline panel testing at a single commercial laboratory between 2015 and 2023. Paired health care claims data for 12 months after genetic testing were evaluated to estimate the utilization of risk-reducing mastectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy, breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and pancreatic screening (magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography or endoscopic ultrasound) in these women. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association of clinicodemographic factors and genetic testing results with intervention utilization.

resultsOf 3,959 women with a PV (2,088 cancer-free; 1,871 with primary breast cancer diagnosed ≤120 days before genetic testing), the average age at testing was 45 years, 67% were White, and 90% reported a family history of cancer. Breast MRI was used by 33% of cancer-free women and 31% of women with breast cancer after genetic testing; pancreatic screening occurred in <11% of the eligible population. Women with PVs in
