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

The fat-gland interface in the breast is noteworthy in that major vessels and lymphatic channels supplying the breast are located there; however, the relationship between breast lesion formation and the fat-gland interface is poorly understood. Here we evaluate the location of malignant and benign breast lesions with respect to the fat-gland interface in 881 women 50 years of age and younger, utilizing MR imaging. We find that most breast lesions are located in or near the interface in qualitative (89.7%) and quantitative (90.0%, 1 cm within the interface) analyses. This propensity for the fat-gland interface is not accounted for by breast anatomy, whereby 12.3% and 55.7% of breast volume is within 2 mm and 1 cm of the interface, respectively. Malignant lesions were located in or near the interface in significantly higher proportions than benign lesions in qualitative (94.3% vs. 67.3%, P < 0.001) and quantitative (49.7% vs. 34.5%, P < 0.001, 2 mm within the interface) analyses. This phenomenon may reflect a biological importance of the fat-gland interface in breast cancer development and progression.
