Breast cancer in women: a descriptive analysis of the national cancer database.
Article in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
background and aim of the workBreast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States. National Cancer Database (NCDB) is one of the largest tumor databases of the United States. This study aimed to evaluate the features of breast cancer in women from a large updated database.
methodsWe describe and analyze the frequencies and percentages of the clinical and pathological features of women diagnosed with breast cancer registered in NCDB, in a period from 2004 to 2015.
resultsA total of 2,423,875 women were diagnosed with breast cancer between 2004 and 2015. The nationally representative analysis demonstrated that the incidence of breast cancer among women increased over the years. Upper-outer quadrant was the most frequent primary tumor site, and the intraductal carcinoma was the most frequent histology. The prevalence of breast cancer increased with age. The most frequent grade at diagnosis was grade II. Broadly, invasive characteristics were noted more frequently in younger patients. Left and right breast were affected with almost the same frequency, with a slight predominance of the left breast. The most frequent surgical treatment was a partial mastectomy. Reconstruction with implant was the most frequent choice. Post-mastectomy radiation therapy was administered in the majority of patients.
conclusionsTo the authors' knowledge, the current study is the largest descriptive analysis to date on the clinical and pathological features of breast cancer in a population-based database. The increase in incidence over the years indicates an important need for etiologic research and innovative approaches to improve breast cancer prevention.
