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

Breast cancer is the commonest cancer among women and leading cause of cancer related mortality worldwide. Locally advanced breast cancer is the common subgroup of breast cancer encountered in developing countries. The last decade witnessed the voluminous upsurge in the use of positron emission tomography-computed tomography. Its role has been evaluated in different aspects of breast cancer - diagnosing and staging the disease, assessing the therapeutic response to chemotherapy, and restaging the recurrent disease. The present review aims to delineate the current role of positron emission tomography-computed tomography in the management of locally advanced breast cancer, based on available literature.
