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

backgroundWith greater awareness and increased screening, cancers are increasingly being diagnosed at stage I. Women with these small node-negative tumours have excellent survival prospects after surgery, but many women, especially those with triple-negative and human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER)-2-positive tumours, still receive adjuvant systemic treatments to reduce the recurrence risk.

aimsWe review the outcomes of women diagnosed with stage I (T1N0M0) tumours in our unit and examine the effect of systemic chemotherapy with/without targeted therapy on recurrence patterns and survival outcomes.

resultsWe reviewed 643 women diagnosed with T1N0M0 disease over a 10-year period. Five-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 96.6% and the 10-year RFS was 95.5%. Recurrence occurred in 4.7% of the women and was limited to locoregional sites in two-thirds of the instances. Systemic recurrences developed in 12 women, all of whom had ER-positive/HER2-negative disease. The mode of surgery emerged as the only independent predictor of recurrence. Recurrence was highest in women treated with wide local excision (WLE) alone (

conclusionsStage I cancers have excellent survival outcomes. An optimal local surgical treatment is important and we did not find chemotherapy and/or targeted therapy to produce any significant differences in survival.
