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

objectivePhyllodes tumors are biphasic tumors consisting of epithelial and stromal components that account for less than 1% of all breast tumors. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) phyllodes tumors are classified into three categories as benign, borderline and malignant. It has been reported that these tumors are usually benign and both the stromal component and the epithelial component may progress to malignancy. In this descriptive study, it was aimed to present the cases of phyllodes tumor and to evaluate the clinicopathological features of these tumors in the light of the literature. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn our study, 55 cases of phyllodes tumor diagnosed between 2005-2018 in the Department of Medical Pathology were retrospectively studied. A total of 55 cases were included in the study.

resultsAll cases were female with a mean age of 39.7+15.2 years. Fifty-seven tumors diagnosed in 55 cases were classed as benign in 20 cases (35.1%), borderline in 14 cases (24.6%) and malignant phyllodes tumors in 23 cases (40.3%). Ductal carcinoma in situ (solid and cribriform type) were detected in one case with malignant phyllodes tumor, whereas invasive ductal carcinoma was detected in one case. Bilateral ductal carcinoma in situ was present in the patient with invasive ductal carcinoma.

conclusionThese tumors which rapidly grow into large masses can be clinically and pathologically confused with benign lesions, macroscopic and microscopic evaluation of concomitant in situ-invasive carcinomas should be considered. Phyllodes tumors have an important role in breast surgery and pathology.
