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

Encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) is an invasive carcinoma which shows papillary architecture within a thickened fibrous capsule. Multiple studies have shown that this tumor follows an indolent course with excellent prognosis, and as such, it is recommended that it be staged as in situ lesions. It is an uncommonly encountered tumor most often diagnosed in postmenopausal females. As breast cancer in males is overall rare, available data on diagnosis, management, and outcomes of EPC in males is limited. Typically, cases of EPC that present with advanced stage and/or lymph node metastases show an associated invasive process. We present a case of pure EPC in a male patient with associated skin ulceration and positive lymph nodes, leading to a final stage of ypT4bN1a. The present report underscores the indolent nature of EPC, even when diagnosed at an advanced stage.
