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

Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is a commonly utilized treatment for early stage breast cancers but has relatively high reexcision rates due to post-surgical identification of positive margins. A fast, specific, sensitive, easy-to-use tool for assessing margins intraoperatively could reduce the need for additional surgeries, and while many techniques have been explored, the clinical need is still unmet. We assess the potential of Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) for intraoperative margin assessment in BCS, using a passively or actively tumor-targeted iron oxide agent and two hardware devices: a hand-held Magnetic Particle detector for identifying residual tumor in the breast, and a small-bore MPI scanner for quickly imaging the tumor distribution in the excised specimen. Here, we present both hardware systems and demonstrate proof-of-concept detection and imaging of clinically relevant phantoms.
