Malignant transformation of recurrent benign phyllodes tumor: a case report and comprehensive review of literature.

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
Introduction: Phyllodes tumors (PTs) of the breast are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms, accounting for less than 1% of all breast tumors. The WHO classifies PTs into benign, borderline, or malignant categories based on histological features. While benign PTs generally have a favorable prognosis, they carry a risk of transformation into malignant variants, particularly in cases of recurrence. Case presentation: A 33-year-old female presented with a recurrent benign PT, previously treated with lumpectomy on two occasions. Recent imaging suggested possible malignant transformation, and histopathological examination confirmed a malignant PT. Discussion: This case highlights the crucial role of imaging in the early detection of malignant transformation in PTs. Surgical management strategies are discussed, with an emphasis on the potential for recurrent benign tumors to progress to malignancy. Conclusion: Regular imaging and close follow-up are essential for early detection of malignant transformation in recurrent PTs, guiding timely and appropriate surgical intervention.
