Potential role of vacuum-assisted procedures in resecting breast cancers and highlighting selection criteria to support future trials.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) in resecting breast cancers. Methods: Retrospective database analysis of 116 cancers [both invasive breast cancers (IC) and ductal carcinoma Results: Mean age was 55.6 years (20-91; SD: 12,27). CR was seen in 29 of 116 cases (25%), MRD in 18 of 116 cases (15.5%), GRD in 64 of 116 cases (55.2%), and five of 116 cases (4.3%) were upgraded from DCIS to IC, and those groups combined represented 47 cases of PRP (40.5%) and 69 (59,5%) of NPR. For 77 tumors ≤ 10 mm, 45 (58.5%) were PRP. Multivariate analysis reveals significance for enlarged VAB (EVAB) ( Conclusions: This study showed that lesions completely excised with VAB that were cancer could have been treated with VAB rather than surgery but tumor selection in terms of subtype and size is important.
