Development and Validation of an Ipsilateral Breast Tumor Recurrence Risk Estimation Tool Incorporating Real-World Data and Evidence From Meta-Analyses: A Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study.
Synthesis in JCO clinical cancer informatics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeIpsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) remains a critical concern for patients undergoing breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Reliable risk estimation tools for IBTR risk can support personalized surgical and adjuvant treatment decisions, especially in the era of evolving systemic therapies. We aimed to develop and validate models to estimate IBTR risk. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis multicenter retrospective cohort study included 8,938 women who underwent partial mastectomy for invasive breast cancer between 2008 and 2017. Prediction models were developed using Cox proportional hazards regression and validated via bootstrap resampling. Model performance was assessed using Harrell's C-index, Brier scores, calibration plots, and goodness-of-fit tests.
resultsDuring a median follow-up of 9.0 years (IQR, 6.6-10.9), IBTR occurred in 320 patients (3.6%). The initial model, based on variables from Sanghani et al, achieved a Harrell's C-index of 0.74. Incorporating hormonal receptor status, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status, radiotherapy, and targeted therapy as predictors reduced the C-index to 0.65, despite their clinical relevance. Importantly, the inclusion of these factors improved calibration, demonstrating better alignment between predicted and observed IBTR probabilities. Although the hazard ratios (HRs) for radiotherapy aligned with the Early Breast Cancer Trialists' Collaborative Group meta-analyses (MA), those for chemotherapy and endocrine therapy showed slight differences. Therefore, HRs from the MA were used to represent treatment effects in our model.
conclusionWe have developed and internally validated a new risk estimation model for IBTR using Cox regression and bootstrap methods. A Web-based risk estimation tool is now available to facilitate individualized risk assessment and treatment planning.
