Validation of the postoperative prognostication tool PREDICT version 2.2 and 3.0 using data from the National cancer center hospital in Japan.
Article in Breast cancer (Tokyo, Japan), 2026. 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
backgroundPREDICT is a prognostic tool developed in the United Kingdom to estimate postoperative overall survival (OS) and the additional benefits of adjuvant therapies in patients with breast cancer. It has been validated in various international cohorts and continuously updated with the inclusion of new variables and model retraining. However, their efficacy in the Japanese population remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate the generalizability of PREDICT versions 2.2 (v2.2) and 3.0 (v3.0) using data from the National Cancer Center Hospital in Japan, a high-volume cancer center.
methodsWe analyzed a retrospective cohort (2006-2016) including 2,980 cases of postoperative breast cancer. We calculated survival predictions using both v2.2 and v3.0, and compared them with the Kaplan-Meier-estimated survival probabilities using a calibration plot. Additionally, we performed a time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis for v2.2 and v3.0.
resultsBoth models tended to underestimate survival in our cohort, whereas v3.0 showed improved calibration compared to v2.2, for 5- and 10-year OS. Both v2.2 and v3.0 maintained good discriminative performance throughout 10 years, with values under the ROC curve generally above 0.80.
conclusionsDespite these differences, both versions demonstrated satisfactory performance, suggesting that they can be generalized for Japanese patients with postoperative breast cancer. Notably, v3.0, given its improved calibration, might be more suitable for supporting shared decision making. The model's performance in predicting 5-year OS supports its generalizability, whereas 10-year projections warrant caution due to limited follow-up. Overall, this study demonstrates that PREDICT is a valuable prognostic tool for Japanese patients with breast cancer.
