The current diagnosis and treatment strategy of breast cancer based on multicentre retrospective data in Shaanxi province.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 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
backgroundBreast cancer is a common malignancy, and early detection coupled with standardized treatment is crucial for patient survival and recovery. This study aims to scrutinize the current state of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment in Shaanxi province, providing valuable insights into the local practices and outcomes.
methodsWe selected 25 hospitals that typically represent the current diagnosis and treatment strategy of breast cancer in Shaanxi (a province in northwest China). The questionnaire comprised sections on fundamental information, outpatient consultations, breast-conserving surgery, neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy, sentinel lymph node biopsy, breast reconstruction surgery.
resultsA total of 6665 breast cancer operations were performed in these 25 hospitals in 2021. The overall proportion of breast-conserving surgery (BCS) is 23.6%. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the annual volume of breast cancer surgery and the implementation rate of BCS (P = 0.004). A total of 2882 cases of neoadjuvant treatment accounted for 43.24% of breast cancer patients treated with surgery in 2017. Hospitals in Xi'an performed more neoadjuvant therapy for patients with breast cancer compared to other districts (P = 0.008). There was a significantly positive correlation between outpatient visits and the implementation rate of sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) (P = 0.005). 14 hospitals in Shaanxi performed reconstructive surgery.
conclusionsBreast conserving surgery, adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy and sentinel lymph node biopsy in Shaanxi province have reached the China's average level. Moreover, hospitals in Xi 'an have surpassed this average. However, a disparity is observed in the development of breast reconstruction surgery when compared to top-tier hospitals.
