Postoperative surgical margin results of the phyllodes tumors from a tertiary hospital.

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
objectivePhyllodes tumors in the breast are exceptionally uncommon fibroepithelial tumors. In the literature, they are typically categorized as benign phyllodes tumor, borderline phyllodes tumor, and malignant phyllodes tumor. This study aims to assess and present the clinical and surgical outcomes of patients diagnosed with phyllodes tumor.
methodsThe outcomes of patients aged 18 years and above diagnosed with phyllodes tumor between 2006 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were grouped as benign phyllodes tumor and borderline/malignant phyllodes tumor and compared by clinical and surgical results.
resultsOf all 57 patients with phyllodes tumor, 64.9% (n=37) were benign phyllodes tumor and 35.1% (n=20) were borderline/malignant phyllodes tumor [22.8% (n=13) borderline phyllodes tumor and 12.3% (n=7) malignant phyllodes tumor]. When the patients were divided into two groups as benign phyllodes tumor and borderline/malignant phyllodes tumor and compared, our cumulative (total) recurrence rate was 14.0%, with final surgical margin width between groups [(0<final surgical margin<2 mm vs final surgical margin≥2 mm) (p=0.154)] and recurrence [(8.1% benign phyllodes tumor vs 25.0% borderline/malignant phyllodes tumor) (p=0.080)]; there was no significant difference between our rates.
conclusionPhyllodes tumors of the breast can be followed up with a narrow negative surgical margin (0 mm<final surgical margin<2 mm). However, after the initial surgery, re-excision is recommended for positive margins, while a wider surgical margin (≥10 mm) is not necessary for excision.
