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

Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) represents a cluster of clinical features based on the National Institute of Health(NIH) diagnostic criteria. It is a multi-systemic disease with progressive features characterized by variable expression. NF1 is associated with an increased risk of malignancies including breast cancer. Presented was a 56 year old woman with a painless lump in the right breast in the past 15 months. Clinical evaluation revealed features of NF1 and an advanced right breast cancer. Histologic evaluation revealed an invasive ductal carcinoma and she was offered a right modified radical mastectomy. Due to clinical presentation with discrete lesions, NF1 may be diagnosed at presentation with malignancy. Clinicians are urged to be familiar with the subtle features of NF1 for early diagnosis that is largely clinical. Institution of early breast cancer surveillance in patients with NF1 is recommended for early diagnosis and improved outcomes.
