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

Diagnosing primary breast tumors of the axillary tail of Spence may be extremely challenging, since several lesions may be located in the axillary fossa. In the presented case, a 54-year-old post-menopausal Caucasian female patient presented to our institution complaining about a lump in her left axilla. The preoperative imaging modalities could not clarify whether the tumor is part of the tail of Spence or metastasis of the axillary lymph nodes. The diagnosis of primary adenocarcinoma of the axillary tail of Spence was made during a quadrantectomy of the left breast after the clavipectoral fascia, which constitutes the sole anatomical boundary between breast and axilla, was identified.
