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

purposeAlthough breast conservation surgery(BCS) followed by adjuvant radiotherapy is now the mainstream treatment method for breast ductal carcinoma in situ(DCIS), mastectomy is still performed in some patients who refuse to undergo radiation. However, the most effective treatment method for these patients is still unknown. In the current study, we aimed to compare the survival rates between mastectomy and BCS plus adjuvant radiotherapy in patients with DCIS. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe performed a retrospective study of 333 patients with DCIS from May 2004 to December 2016. There were 209 patents who were treated with BCS and adjuvant radiotherapy, while the remaining of 124 patients underwent mastectomy. The disease-free survival (DFS) and local recurrence-free survival(LRFS) rates were compared between the 2 treatment groups. Cox proportional hazards regression was performed to explore factors associated with DFS and LRFS.

resultsThe 10-year local recurrence(LR) rates in the mastectomy and BCS plus adjuvant radiotherapy groups were 2.6% and 7.5%, respectively. There was no difference in the LR rate between the 2 groups. Furthermore the DFS rate was also similar between the mastectomy and BCS plus adjuvant radiotherapy groups. Based on the multivariable analysis, age and tumor grade were significantly correlated with the LRFS and DFS rates. In the subgroup analysis based on the factors of age and tumor grade, patients with a tumor grade of III who underwent mastectomy had better LRFS and DFS rates compared to those who received BCS plus radiotherapy.

conclusionIn patients with DCIS, the long-term efficacy was similar between mastectomy and BCS followed by adjuvant radiotherapy. However, in the subgroup of patients with grade III tumors, mastectomy seems to offer a better LRFS and DFS than BCS plus radiotherapy.
