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

Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is the gold standard for the evaluation of axilla in clinically node-negative early breast cancers. There is limited data on the role and efficacy of the same in the post lumpectomy scenario. This prospective interventional study was conducted over 1 year on 30 post lumpectomy pT1/2 cN0 patients. SLNB was performed by preoperative lymphoscintigram using technetium-labeled human serum albumin followed by intraoperative blue dye injection. Sentinel nodes were identified based on blue dye uptake and gamma probe and sent for intra operative frozen section. Completion axillary nodal dissection was performed in all cases. The primary end point was sentinel node identification rate and accuracy of nodal frozen section. Sentinel node identification rate was 86.7% (
