Article in Breast cancer research and treatment, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeWhile
methodsPatients who underwent FDG-PET/CT staging before any treatment between January 2015 and December 2020 at Oscar Lambret Center were included. EXCLUSIONS: patients with symptoms or conventional imaging suggestive of metastatic dissemination, or with prior malignancies. Initial stage was determined from mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, and clinical examination. Staging and therapeutic impact based on FDG-PET/CT findings collected, including intra- (modification of dose/site/strategy in a type of management previously indicated) and inter-modality (modification of planned treatment strategy) changes.
resultsThe cohort included 287 female patients with clinical stage I or IIA, HER2+ , or TNBC. Therapeutic impact observed for 18% of patients (n = 52), with 2% (n = 7) undergoing inter-modality change with omission of planned surgery. The impact on patient management was higher for stage IIA patients (20%, 47/237) than for stage I patients (10%, 5/50). Among stage IIA disease, changes in management were more important for T2N0 patients (22%, 44/205) than for T1N1 patients (9%, 3/32). While not statistically significant, trends suggest usefulness of FDG-PET/CT for T2N0 patients.
conclusionConsidering substantial therapeutic implications, our study suggests the usefulness of FDG-PET/CT for patients with stage IIA, HER2-positive, or Triple-Negative BC with tumor size > 2 cm (T2N0).
