Role of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging in the surgical management of early-stage breast cancer.

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
purposeTo examine the role of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI) on time to surgery and rates of reoperation and contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) using a population-based study of New Jersey breast cancer patients.
methodsThe study included 289 African-American and 320 white women who participated in the Breast Cancer Treatment Disparity Study and underwent breast surgery for newly diagnosed early-stage breast cancer between 2005 and 2010. Patients were identified through rapid case ascertainment by the New Jersey State Cancer Registry. Association between pMRI and time to surgery was examined by using linear regression and, with reoperation and CPM, by using binomial regression.
resultsHalf (49.9 %) of the study population received pMRI, with higher use for whites compared with African-Americans (62.5 vs. 37.5 %). After adjusting for potential confounders, patients with pMRI versus those without experienced significantly longer time to initial surgery [geometric mean = 38.7 days; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 34.8-43.0; vs. 26.5 days; 95 % CI 24.3-29.0], a significantly higher rate of CPM [relative risk (RR) = 1.82; 95 % CI 1.06-3.12], and a nonsignificantly lower rate of reoperation (RR = 0.76; 95 % CI 0.54-1.08).
conclusionsPreoperative MRI was associated with significantly increased time to surgery and a higher rate of CPM, but it did not affect the rate of reoperation. Physicians and patients should consider these findings when making surgical decisions on the basis of pMRI findings.
