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

purposeThe aim of the study was to evaluate posture in patients undergoing breast-conserving therapy (BCT) in relation to the type of surgical intervention to the axilla.

methodsThe study was conducted on patients who had undergone breast-conserving surgical treatment for breast cancer 5-6 years earlier. In 54 patients, BCT+ALND (axillary lymph node dissection) was performed, while 63 patients were subjected to BCT+SLND (sentinel lymph node dissection). The control group consisted of 54 females. The study was conducted using digital postural assessment.

resultsNo statistically significant differences were observed with respect to the parameters between the BCT+SLNB and BCT+ALND groups (

conclusionsPostural imbalance occurs independent of the type of axillary intervention. Disturbances within the upper torso (abnormal position of shoulders and inferior angles of scapulae) are more pronounced in patients after ALND.
