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

backgroundOncoplastic breast-conserving surgery (OBCS) has become an essential component of breast cancer treatment. Imaging guidance in breast surgery has the potential to enhance surgical precision. Despite increasing recognition, a comprehensive evaluation of its specific impact on OBCS for breast cancer is needed. This study aims to evaluate the impact of the application of imaging guidance in OBCS on the accuracy and safety of breast cancer surgery.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study included patients treated for breast cancer, divided into the OBCS group (Group A, n = 65) and the imaging-guided OBCS group (Group B, n = 69). Demographics, perioperative parameters, surgical margins, and postoperative complications of the study population were evaluated to assess the impact of imaging guidance on OBCS. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between various indicators and imaging-guided OBCS.

resultsA total of 134 patients were included. Compared to Group A, Group B showed significant reductions in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, excised breast weight, and length of stay. Additionally, Group B had narrower surgical margins and fewer postoperative complications, including hematoma, wound dehiscence, subcutaneous bleeding, and fluid accumulation. Correlation analysis revealed a strong negative association between imaging-guided OBCS and various surgical indices, highlighting the potential benefits of imaging guidance in enhancing surgical precision and patient outcomes.

conclusionThe findings of this study support the potential of imaging-guided OBCS to enhance surgical precision and safety in breast cancer management, offering benefits across multiple aspects of surgical care and patient prognosis.
