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

Breast implant augmentation is a low-risk procedure with few life-threatening complications, most commonly rupture or leakage and contraction of the capsule. Breast implant-associated (BIA) malignancies are rare. Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is the most well-known neoplastic condition associated with breast augmentation. Carcinomas arising in association with implants have been reported but are rarer than ALCL. BIA-mesenchymal tumors are extremely rare and most are locally aggressive fibromatosis. To date, only eight cases of BIA sarcomas have been reported. Herein, we describe a case of silicone BIA-undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) that was initially mistaken for ALCL because of a significant clinical and radiological overlap in presentation and imaging. Here, we present the morphological and molecular features of this rare neoplasm. We reviewed the existing literature related to BIA sarcomas to highlight the importance of considering this diagnosis in cases of recurrent ALCL-negative BIA effusions.
