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

Phyllodes tumors are uncommon biphasic breast tumors with a wide range of clinical behaviors. The distinction between a phyllodes tumor and a fibroadenoma can be difficult. The diagnosis of phyllodes tumor should be suspected in all women who present with a rapidly growing breast lump. Based on the histological characteristics, the World Health Organization (WHO) classifies phyllodes tumors as benign, borderline, or malignant. The risk of recurrence and metastatic potential varies based on histological features. Wide excision or mastectomy is the standard of care ensuring histologically clear margins. Despite the grading criteria defined by the WHO, the management of phyllodes tumors continues to be a challenge. We report the case of a 48-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with a large and ulcerated phyllodes tumor of the left breast. The tumor size did not allow conservative surgery. The final diagnosis of a borderline phyllodes tumor was made, and, in this case, the patient did not undergo adjuvant treatment.
