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

While the prognosis for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is generally excellent, distant metastasis after appropriate local treatment is extremely rare. We experienced two cases of distant metastasis after mastectomy for breast ductal carcinoma in situ. In both cases, the surgical margins were negative, the sentinel nodes were negative for metastasis. The first case was a 67-year-old woman who developed lung metastases four years after mastectomy for high-grade DCIS. The second case was a 34-year-old woman with intermediate-grade DCIS who developed intraductal recurrence localized to the nipple two years after the initial nipple-sparing mastectomy and multiple lung and liver metastases six months later. Both cases developed distant metastases despite appropriate local treatment, without preceding or concurrent invasive local recurrence. Although the probability of distant recurrence is low, it is important to inform patients about the risk of recurrence.
