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

purposeAdherence to adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) is critical for breast cancer prognosis, yet there is a current lack of convenient predictive tools that integrate multidimensional factors. This study aimed to develop a nomogram prediction model for forecasting AET adherence in breast cancer patients.

methodsClinical data from 403 breast cancer patients were collected and analyzed. Patients were randomly divided into training (n = 281) and validation (n = 122) cohorts at a 7:3 ratio. Risk factors influencing treatment adherence were screened using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The nomogram was constructed and validated using R software, with its predictive performance and clinical utility evaluated through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).

resultsMultivariate analysis identified medical insurance type (OR = 3.435, 95% CI: 1.230-9.592, P = 0.019), psychological assessment (OR = 0.779, 95% CI: 0.712-0.853, P < 0.001), and perceived social support (OR = 1.131, 95% CI: 1.088-1.177, P < 0.001) as independent predictors of AET adherence. The resulting nomogram achieved AUC values for the training cohort and validation cohort of 0.933 (95% CI: 0.905-0.961) and 0.891 (95% CI: 0.826-0.957), respectively. Calibration curves and DCA demonstrated excellent consistency and clinical applicability.

conclusionsThe study identified medical insurance type, psychological assessment, and perceived social support as key factors influencing adherence to AET. The developed nomogram on this basis provides a visual tool for identifying high-risk populations with poor adherence to AET, which helps to carry out personalized interventions for different patients in the future.
