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

introductionBreast cancer is a heterogeneous condition, with variants which are less common but still very well defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. With the small number of cases each year large trials are difficult to perform. This series aims to discuss the rare breast malignancies encountered within a breast department and the evidence based approached to their management.

methodLiterature search of electronic databases via PubMed and the search engines Google/Google Scholar were used. Emphasis on keywords: breast cancer and the type of histology used to limit search. Searches were screened and those articles suitable had full text versions retrieved. The references to all retrieved texts were searched for further relevant studies.

conclusionDue to the rarity of some of these breast cancers, systematic evaluation of patient with detailed histopathology will aid accurate diagnosis and management. The series hopes to add the existing understanding of this small percentage of cases.
