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

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive subtype with an activated tumor immune microenvironment. The multicenter, multinational, double-blinded NSABP B-59/GeparDouze trial evaluated the addition of atezolizumab (atezo) (773 patients randomized) or placebo (777 patients) to sequential taxane-carboplatin-anthracycline-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy in stage II-III TNBC. The addition of atezo did not significantly improve the primary endpoint of event-free survival (EFS) (HR, 0.80 (95% CI, 0.062-1.03); stratified log-rank P = 0.083, 4-year EFS rates difference 3.3%). The HR for overall survival was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.62-1.19), with a 4-year benefit of 0.7%. Prespecified subgroup analyses suggested heterogeneity in EFS, with benefit of atezo in patients presenting with clinical lymph node involvement (P
