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

backgroundMalignant phyllodes tumors (PTs) of the breast occur infrequently and are difficult to treat with adjuvant therapy. Here, we present a case of a female patient with a huge malignant PT with rapid progression in a short period. CASE PRESENTATION: A 44-year-old woman presented to our hospital with a rapid growth mass in her right breast, measuring 20 cm. She was initially diagnosed as having a borderline phyllodes tumor by core needle biopsy and underwent total mastectomy and artificial dermis was grafted, 20 days later, latissimus dorsi muscle flap and free skin grafting were performed. Two courses of doxorubicin-ifosfamide therapy were administered because of recurrence, but the patient died 4 months after the mastectomy.

conclusionsA standard therapeutic strategy for malignant PTs is needed in urgently to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence.
