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

backgroundRespiratory diseases and breast cancer both pose significant threats to women's health, but the association between them remains unclear.

methodsThis analysis utilised data including 25,132 adult female participants. After adjusting variables, a logistic regression model assessed the association between respiratory diseases and breast cancer risk. We investigated the nonlinear dose-response relationship between pulmonary function tests and breast cancer, and analysed the association of pulmonary function test with breast cancer risk across different racial groups. We explored the heterogeneous characteristics of key metabolic and inflammatory markers in different groups.

resultsIn the fully adjusted model, chronic bronchitis was associated with prevalent breast cancer. Restricted cubic spline curve revealed elevated breast cancer risk when pulmonary function test met the following thresholds: FEF25-75% < 2,405 ml/s, FEV1/FVC < 0.794, and FEV3/FVC < 0.926, with stronger associations between pulmonary function and breast cancer risk found among non-Hispanic whites and blacks. Serum lipid metabolism and inflammation markers showed significant elevation.

conclusionChronic bronchitis exhibits a potential correlation with breast cancer risk. In non-Hispanic whites and non-Hispanic blacks, declining pulmonary function may associate with increased breast cancer risk.
