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

purposeNon-epithelial tumors of the breast are extremely rare and have an incidence of less than 1%. The most common non-epithelial breast tumor is the phyllodes tumor (PT), which accounts for 61%. Primary osteosarcomas of the breast contribute up to only 12.5% of all breast sarcomas. In young females, osteosarcomas are extremely rare, especially in those without a previous history of primary bone osteosarcoma. A case of a 16-year old female with primary osteosarcoma of the breast (POB) with extensive chondroid matrix involving the left breast is herein presented. CASE REPORT: This report describes a 16-year old female with neither a previous history of bone osteosarcoma nor family history of breast cancer who was diagnosed with a primary chondroblastic osteosarcoma of the left breast. The mass was shining, warm, firm, and slightly fixed. The excisional biopsy showed a large tumor measuring 11x9x7 cm which was encapsulated, grayish-white, and nodular.

conclusionPrimary osteosarcomas of the breast carry a poor prognosis by being triple negative and because of being the rarest tumors, they pose a challenge in managing the patients due to lack of established treatment modalities.
