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

backgroundThe number of cancers diagnosed during pregnancy is on the rise, and breast cancer is the most common malignancy. Presently, there are very limited resources and no clear guidelines for managing this peculiar patient population both worldwide and in India. The objective of this study was to find out the incidence of pregnancy-associated breast cancer (PABC) in a tertiary care referral centre and to compare the epidemiological, diagnostic and prognostic factors as well as maternal and foetal outcomes with the most recent literature worldwide.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective descriptive study of women diagnosed with breast cancer in pregnancy and post-partum period at a tertiary care centre in southern India during the period of 10 years (total number of breast cancer patients were 10). We studied the diagnostic and prognostic factors as well as maternal and foetal outcome in patients diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time in pregnancy.

resultsOverall incidence of PABC was found to be 0.6% (

conclusionWith the increasing number of elderly primigravida amongst the urban population, a clear understanding of PABC is becoming more important. A multidisciplinary team approach shall help the clinician not only in reducing the heavy burden of patient responsibility but more importantly, in guaranteeing better quality of treatment, avoiding unnecessary delays in providing interventions and providing adequate treatment.
