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

Summary: The management of high-risk benign breast disease (BBD) is changing because of improvements in radiological and pathological analysis. We sought to determine the current practice recommendations of breast health professionals in managing patients with high-risk BBD. We surveyed members of the Canadian Society of Surgical Oncology, Canadian Association of General Surgeons and Canadian Association of Radiologists. The survey contained demographic and case-based questions concerning management of high-risk benign breast lesions. Participants were asked for their recommendations and opinions regarding future risk of breast cancer as well as the role of chemoprevention. There was no consistency among the 41 respondents in the treatment recommendations for any of the high-risk benign conditions, and the lifetime risk associated with classic lobular carcinoma in situ was vastly underestimated. Education and evidenced-based guidelines are urgently needed to ensure more uniform practice nationally.
