Wide Margins are Still Relevant: A Case of a Well-Circumscribed Borderline Phyllodes Tumor With a Satellite Nodule in a Re-excision Margin.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Phyllodes tumors (PTs) of the breast are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms with high rates of local recurrence (LR) for which surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment. The recommended surgical margin width is debated and varies based on the histologic grade. We present a case of a middle-aged woman with a well-circumscribed borderline PT who underwent margin re-excision, with a distinct focus of the PT detected at a previously negative margin. Given the high rates of LR and potential for histologic upgrade at the time of recurrence, combined with the current limited understanding of peritumoral tissue and possible satellite foci, a wide negative margin remains the recommendation for borderline PTs.
