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

Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is a rare, distinct histological subtype of breast carcinoma. While micropapillary histological architecture is found in up to 2-8% of all breast cancers, pure micropapillary carcinoma is infrequent and comprises 0.9-2% of breast carcinomas. Invasive micropapillary carcinoma is emerging as an oncological and surgical challenge due to a plethora of characteristics that constitute this histological pattern - interestingly, both elusive and aggressive. We present the case of a woman presenting with IMPC, who was primarily treated with tumour and lymph node marking, followed by primary systemic therapy (PST), and consequent oncoplastic surgery with sentinel lymph node biopsy. Our case report outlines the importance of awareness of histological subtypes in breast cancer by focusing on a case report of IMPC. The breast surgeon must be aware of the lymphotropic behaviour of this subtype and the high prevalence of lymph node involvement in such patients, and therefore focus on rigorous axillary assessment. One must not forget that, despite having a more aggressive biological profile, IMPC has demonstrated no difference in survival when compared to other histological subtypes, and treatment should conform to international guidelines with an emphasis on nodal staging.
