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

backgroundMalignant myoepitheliomas of the breast are extremely rare. There has been a limited number of published reports of myoepithelial carcinomas originating from the breast. CASE REPORT: We describe a malignant myoepithelioma of the breast in a 56-year-old woman. Histological examination showed polygonal epithelioid cells and spindle cells with moderate to marked nuclear atypia. Immunohistochemistry showed reactivity in the spindle cells for smooth muscle actin, cytokeratin (AE1/AE3), and p63, indicating a myoepithelial cell lineage of tumor cells. The patient underwent radical surgical excision of the lesion and axillary lymph node dissection. She demonstrated no evidence of recurrence over an 11-month follow-up.

conclusionsWe suggest myoepithelial carcinomas of the breast be managed with appropriate surgical clearance. A multidisciplinary approach is usually required.
