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

Introduction Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women worldwide, and early detection plays a key role in improving survival and treatment outcomes. National breast screening programs help identify both invasive and non-invasive cancers, such as ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). This study aimed to compare the one-year outcomes of screen-detected invasive breast cancer and DCIS in women diagnosed through a regional screening program. Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted at our tertiary center in the UK. Patients diagnosed with screen-detected breast cancers from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024, were followed for one year post-surgery. A total of 216 patients were included: 108 with invasive breast cancer (Group A) and 108 with DCIS (Group B). Data on demographics, tumor characteristics, surgical procedures, postoperative complications, and oncological outcomes were collected using electronic records. Comparative statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 26 (IBM Corp., Armonk, USA). Chi-square and independent t-tests were used for categorical and continuous variables, and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to assess the strength of associations. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results The mean age was similar between groups (Group A: 57.6 ± 10.8 years; Group B: 58.1 ± 11.5 years). Estrogen and progesterone receptor (ER/PR) positivity was high in both groups (70.4% vs. 75%,
