Early onset, delayed diagnosis and laterality of breast carcinoma: Evidence from a tertiary care hospital.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: To assess age at onset, delayed diagnosis and laterality of breast carcinoma among women at Debre Markos Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, North West Ethiopia. Methods: Hospital-based descriptive study was conducted on 120 breast carcinoma cases at pathology department of Debre Markos Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, from October 2019 to December 2021. The women aware of symptoms until first medical consultation time was asked. The height and weight of the women were measured using the height and weight scale. The attending physician examined both breasts and regional lymph nodes. Pathological features of breast carcinomas were recorded when biopsy results arrived at the pathology department. Data were entered in Epi data version 3.1. Then, it was exported to SPSS version 25.0 statistical software for analysis. Results: Mean age of women was 39.9 ± 11.6 years, and median age was 38 years. Most women, 87 (72.5%) were aged less than 46 years. One hundred three (85.8%) women had complained breast lump pain for greater than 3 months before diagnosis. About 61 (50.8%) women had left breast carcinomas; 44 (36.7%) had right breast carcinomas and 15 (12.5%) had bilateral breast carcinomas. Of total, 53 (44.2%) cases were invasive ductal carcinomas; 41 (34.2%) had ductal carcinoma in situ; 14 (11.7%) were invasive lobular carcinomas; 8 (6.7%) were lobular carcinoma in situ and only 4 (3.3%) cases were mixed carcinomas. Conclusion: In this study, about two-third of the cases had early onset breast carcinoma. Most of the cases had delayed diagnosis of breast carcinoma. More than half of the cases had left breast carcinoma.
