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 cancer associated with osteoclast-like giant cells (OGCs) refers to a morphological pattern of invasive breast carcinoma of non-special type. Their presence is sometimes subtle, but OGCs can be appreciated both histologically and immunohistochemically. The origin of OGCs as well as their implication for prognosis remain debated. We describe the case of a 65-year-old woman, wherein the presence of OGCs in the fine-needle aspiration cytology of a metastatic axillary lymph node suggested the final diagnosis on histology. The differential diagnosis is broad, and here we provide evidence for strict cytological-histological correlation when dealing with unusual breast lesions.
