Clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of breast cancer with special histological types: A surveillance, epidemiology, and end results database analysis.
Article in Breast (Edinburgh, Scotland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
objectivesTo explore the clinicopathological features and prognosis of breast cancer with special histological types. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe information of breast cancer patients was obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2010-2016). Comparative analyses were performed to explore the difference in clinicopathological characteristics and propensity score matching (PSM) was used to weaken the effects from clinical profiles. Survival analysis was conducted to investigate the prognostic effects from histological types, and the prognostic factors of this group of patients were identified with the univariate COX proportional model.
resultsA total of 242863 breast cancer patients were eligible, of which 230213 individuals were ductal breast cancer (IDC) and 12650 individuals were special breast lesions, respectively. Comparatively, special breast cancer had a lower histological grade, a smaller tumor size, a lower proportion of nodal involvement and distant metastasis, in addition to a higher proportion of triple-negative subtype. The overall prognosis of special histological breast cancer was comparable to IDC, while the survival of HER2 enriched breast cancer was in favor of special breast cancer. With the PSM performance, the prognosis exhibited an inferior profile in the metaplastic breast cancer and was significantly favorable to apocrine, medullary, micropapillary, and papillary breast cancer.
conclusionThis study revealed that the special histological breast cancer presented distinct clinicopathological characteristics and great heterogeneity in the prognosis among diverse histological subtypes.
