Breast Cancer in Basra Oncology Center: A Clinico- Epidemiological Analysis
Observational study in Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention : APJCP, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women, and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Objective: This study was performed to evaluate clinico-epidemiological features of breast cancer from Iraq during a five-year period. Methodology: This is a retrospective descriptive study. Medical notes and histopathological reports of patients with confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer between January 2011 and December 2015 were reviewed for age, gender, site, laterality, histopathological type, grade of differentiation and TNM stage at diagnosis. Results: A total of 1,000 patients were included in the study. Mean age at diagnosis was 50 years (range 22-85 years), and females constituted 99.2% of cases. Most cases (98.7%) were unilateral and most common (85.5%) histological subtype was invasive ductal carcinoma. Majority of the cases (58%) were moderately differentiated (grade II), wherein 45% belonged to stage II in TNM system, and nearly half (49%) of patients had locally advanced or metastatic cancer. Conclusion: Breast cancer presents at least a decade earlier and at a more advanced stage in Iraqi women when compared to the Western World. Steps for early detection are essential for initiation of prompt therapy and reduction of mortality.
