Modified Radical Mastectomy in De Novo Stage IV Inflammatory Breast Cancer.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundThere are few studies on surgical management in patients with de novo metastatic inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). The objective of this study is to examine the association between modified radical mastectomy (MRM) and disease-specific survival (DSS) in patients with de novo stage IV IBC. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result Program was queried for patients ≥18 years old with cT4d/pT4d pathology, histology type 8530 and 8533 with distant disease between 2010 and 2016. The sample was divided into two groups: (1) the MRM group, defined as MRM or mastectomy with at least ten lymph nodes removed, and (2) the no-surgery group. Sociodemographic and clinical variables were compared between the groups on bivariable analysis. After propensity score matching, Kaplan-Meier curves and a Cox proportional-hazards model examined DSS.
results1293 patients were included in the study, of whom 240 underwent MRM. A higher percentage in the MRM group had only one metastatic site (69.8% versus 52.2%), received chemotherapy (88.3% versus 66.1%) and radiation (58.8% versus 26.0%) compared with the no-MRM group. MRM was associated with an increase in DSS compared with no MRM [HR 0.63 (95% CI 0.50-0.80), p < 0.001]. Patients with MRM had a 5-year DSS rate of 31.4% compared with 17.7% for patients not undergoing surgery (p = 0.001). Survival time was 38 months (range 27-45 months) for the MRM group versus 27 months (22-29 months) for the no-MRM group.
conclusionMRM in patients with de novo metastatic IBC may improve DSS in a subset of patients.
