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

Flat epithelial atypia (FEA) of the breast has recently gained attention as a possible precursor lesion of highly differentiated breast cancer. Especially tubular carcinomas, with which FEA shares cytological features, often occur in close proximity to each other. To examine a possible clonal relationship, we analysed mutations of the highly variable region of the mitochondrial genome in a series of tubular carcinomas, associated FEA and normal glands. Multiple sequence alignment showed identical mtDNA mutations in approximately 50% of paired FEA and tumour samples, indicative of a clonal relationship. Our data indicate a possible precursor role of FEA in the development of tubular breast cancer.
