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

Mucinous carcinoma of the breast, also known as colloid carcinoma, is an uncommon type of differentiated adenocarcinoma, representing only 2% of all invasive breast carcinomas. It usually occurs in women ≥ 60 years of age. Mucinous carcinoma is characterized by clusters of epithelial tumour cells suspended in pools of extracellular mucin and is further divided in 2 subgroups, pure and mixed. Compared to invasive ductal carcinoma, mucinous carcinoma has a better prognosis, being characterized by a lower incidence of nodal involvement and a more favorable histological grade, with low proliferative activity and high expression of hormone receptors. Overall 10-year survival is estimated to be more than 90%. We present a case of a 57-year-old female patient who presented a palpable mass in the right breast for at least 2 years. On examination the whole breast appeared swollen, congestive and painless to palpation. Breast ultrasound, breast MRI and tru-cut biopsy were performed and suggested an advanced infiltrated carcinoma with mucinous aspects. Immunohistochemistry study demonstrated ER positivity (95%), PR low (5%), HER-2-Neu negativity (score 0) and proliferative index (Ki67) of 20%, determining a Luminal B-like (HER 2-negative) subtype. The patient was then candidated to mastectomy surgery and breast reconstruction with DIEP flap. Axillary lymp-nodes were sampled surgically.
