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

purposeThe study aimed to assess the frequency of Langer's arch in patients undergoing axillary dissection for breast cancer.

methodsFrom January-2015 to March-2020, in a general hospital in México City, female patients undergoing axillary dissection for breast cancer were studied. The analysis involved: demographic and anthropometric data, type of surgical treatment, histopathologic diagnosis, number of lymph nodes harvested, and frequency of Langer's arch finding.

resultsThe sample studied was 123 axillary dissections. The mean age of the patients was 59 ± 10.5-years. Modified radical mastectomy was done in 117 cases (95.1%). Ductal carcinoma occurred in 96 cases (78%). The mean number of lymph nodes harvested was 24 ± 6.5. Langer's arch finding occurred in 33 cases (26.8%).

conclusionLanger's arch is frequent in our patients undergoing axillary dissection for breast cancer.
