Axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer: from historical axillary surgery to updated advances in the preoperative diagnosis and axillary management.
Review in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Axillary lymph node status, which was routinely assessed by axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) until the 1990s, is a crucial factor in determining the stage, prognosis, and therapeutic strategy used for breast cancer patients. Axillary surgery for breast cancer patients has evolved from ALND to minimally invasive approaches. Over the decades, the application of noninvasive imaging techniques, machine learning approaches and emerging clinical prediction models for the detection of axillary lymph node metastasis greatly improves clinical diagnostic efficacy and provides optimal surgical selection. In this work, we summarize the historical axillary surgery and updated perspectives of axillary management for breast cancer patients.
