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

backgroundMale breast cancer (MBC) represents a rare subtype of breast cancer, with limited prognostic factor studies available. The purpose of this research was to develop a unique nomogram for predicting MBC patient overall survival (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS).

methodsFrom 2010 to 2020, clinical characteristics of male breast cancer patients were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Following univariate and multivariate analyses, nomograms for OS and BCSS were created. Kaplan-Meier plots were further generated to illustrate the relationship between independent risk variables and survival. The nomogram's ability to discriminate was measured by employing the area under a time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration curves. Additionally, when the nomogram was used to direct clinical practice, we also used decision curve analysis (DCA) to evaluate the clinical usefulness and net clinical benefits.

resultsA total of 2143 patients were included in this research. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that age, grade, surgery, chemotherapy status, brain metastasis status, subtype, marital status, race, and AJCC-T, AJCC-N, and AJCC-M stages were significantly correlated with OS. Lung metastasis, age, marital status, grade, surgery, and AJCC-T, AJCC-N, and AJCC-M stages were significantly correlated with BCSS. By comprising these variables, a predictive nomogram was constructed in the SEER cohort. Then, it could be validated well in the validation cohort by receiver operating characteristics (ROCs) curve and calibration plot. Furthermore, the nomogram demonstrated better decision curve analysis (DCA) results, indicating the ability to forecast survival probability with greater accuracy.

conclusionWe created and validated a unique nomogram that can assist clinicians in identifying MBC patients at high risk and forecasting their OS/BCSS.
