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

introductionBreast cancer is the most common malignancy in woman. Approximately 5-10% of breast cancer occurs as de novo stage IV and some studies have shown that from 10% to 30% of those patients presents Brain Metastasis. PRESENTATION OF CASE: In this study, we report a case of solitary brain metastasis of breast cancer in a 63-year-old Italian Caucasian woman with neurological symptoms as first clinical presentation. After the correct diagnosis and multidisciplinary meeting it was decided to simultaneously perform a metastasectomy surgery plus right mastectomy, right axillary dissection and immediate breast reconstruction. In our clinical practice we report a successful combined surgical approach in a stage IV de novo breast cancer patient with single site brain metastasis at one year follow-up. DISCUSSION: Metastasectomy plus mastectomy provided neurological control of acute complication of metastatic disease and complete breast cancer local control. One-time operation could be the best option when diagnosis of breast cancer is made thanks to the onset of oncological emergency like intracranial hypertension due to single brain metastasis.

conclusionCombined surgical approach offers the opportunity to treat two different oncological urgencies, reducing the unnecessary repeated surgical and anesthesiologic trauma.
