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

A phyllodes tumor is a rare fibroepithelial breast tumor that can be benign, borderline, or malignant. Its diagnosis is challenging because it shares characteristics with other lesions. The treatment is primarily surgical, with no established role for chemotherapy and limited evidence supporting radiotherapy. There is no evidence of phyllodes tumors expressing endocrine receptors, nor is there an established role for endocrine therapy in treating these tumors. We present a case of a large phyllodes tumor that showed a clinical response to treatment with anastrozole.
