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

Traditionally, patients with metastatic breast cancer were seen as carrying a grim prognosis and therapy was based mainly on palliative chemotherapy and hormonal therapy, with surgery being considered as ineffective. However, in the last 20 years different centers worldwide published series of metastatic breast cancer patients who underwent resection for different metastatic sites (liver, brain, lung), reporting favorable results. Most of these papers addressed to the role of liver surgery in patients with breast cancer liver metastases, mainly due to the favorable results achieved by liver resection in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. In this review are presented the results achieved by liver surgery in patients with breast cancer liver metastases.
