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

backgroundAtypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) and lobular neoplasia (LN) increase subsequent breast cancer (BC) risk. However, optimal surveillance and risk reduction regimes remain uncertain. We report management and outcomes of women with ADH and LN to provide data on potential screening/prevention strategies.

methodsWomen diagnosed with screen detected ADH and/or LN between 2010-2018 at our institution were identified and demographic data, MDT decisions and BC diagnoses extracted from electronic patient records in 2019 and 2023.

resultsOf 107 women, 74 were discharged to the NHS Breast Screening Programme and 33 were offered enhanced screening (ES). The proportion offered ES increased significantly over time (p = 0.037). 15/105 (14.3%) developed BC (median follow-up 117 months), 9 screen-detected and 6 symptomatic, with 3 interval cancers diagnosed 12-25 months following their last screen. 3/15 were lymph node positive and 13/14 invasive cancers were estrogen receptor (ER) positive. BC incidence rate was 1499.6/100,000 women/year (SIR = 4.7), lower in the first 5 years of follow-up compared with post 5 years.

conclusionsIn women with ADH/LN most BCs occur beyond 5 years. ES regimens should therefore extend to at least 10 years and be at least biennial. Preventative therapy should be considered given the high BC SIR and ER positivity of subsequent tumours.
