[Quality Variation in Switzerland: Analysis of Mammary Resections for Breast Cancer using the Quality Indicator of Breast Preservation].

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
aim of studyThe aim of the study was to investigate whether there are regional differences in the treatment results of elective mammary resections for breast cancer in Switzerland and, if so, whether a possible cause could be found in the hospital planning by the cantons.
methodsUsing the Inpatient Quality Indicators (CH-IQI), the quality of outcomes was analysed at the level of the Swiss cantons and compared with the cantonal requirements for carrying out this treatment.
resultsCantonal differences became apparent both in the quality of results based on the quality indicator of breast preservation and in the level of detail of the requirements for structural and process quality.
conclusionThe quality of treatment in Switzerland can hardly be compared in a transparent manner; interpreting the available quality information is demanding and hardly possible for patients. In order to reduce the quality differences shown, hospital planning should be intercantonal, as is the case in highly specialised medicine.
