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

objectiveWhile the majority of breast neoplasms originate from epithelial cells, a rare part of them originate from mesenchymal breast tissue. This study aims to present the histomorphological and clinicoradiological features of our series of primary mesenchymal breast tumors and to discuss the features of these tumors in light of the literature. MATERIALS AND

methodsCases diagnosed as primary mesenchymal breast tumor in breast resection materials evaluated in our center between 2010 and 2023 were included.

resultsOf the 26 tumors included, 57.7% were diagnosed as benign and 42.3% as malignant mesenchymal tumor. Cases diagnosed as benign mesenchymal tumor were hemangioma, lipoma, extra-abdominal fibromatosis, leiomyoma, angiofibroma, lipomatosis, benign fibrous histiocytoma and granular cell tumor. Histopathological study results were compatible with angiosarcoma in 5 (45.4%), undifferentiated sarcoma in 3 (27.3%), myxofibrosarcoma in 2 (18.2%) cases and rhabdomyosarcoma in 1 (9.1%) case.

conclusionPrimary breast sarcomas are rarely seen compared to benign mesenchymal tumors and constitute less than 0.1% of all malignant breast tumors. When histomorphological findings suggestive of a mesenchymal tumor are observed in breast specimens, sufficient sampling should be performed to exclude a possible phyllodes tumor, and clinicoradiological findings should be examined to exclude the possibility of a metastasis.
