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

backgroundIn total, 5-10% of all breast cancer cases are related to gen mutations. In most cases a mutation in the BRCA1-gen and BRCA2-gen is responsible for insufficient repair of DNA damages that cause breast and ovarian cancer. CLINICAL MANAGEMENT: In patients carrying BRCA1-mutation the risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer is 87% and 40% as well as 47% and 20% for those carrying a BRCA2-mutation. Women at hereditary risk should be informed about existing recommendations for surveillance. Primary prevention of breast and ovarian cancer including prophylactic surgery (bilateral salpingoophorectomy and bilateral mastectomy) should be explained to mutation carriers. The issue of oral antihormonal therapy for prevention of breast cancer should be addressed. Psycho-social support should be offered to mutation carriers.

conclusionsThe clinical management of BRCA1 and BRCA2-mutation carriers is very challenging and should be done in centres specialized in this issue.
