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

A conservative surgical breast intervention is broadly acceptable as an appropriate treatment option in preliminary stages of breast cancer and is recommended in order to establish oncologic safety while achieving aesthetics of the breast. Therefore, it is of interest to follow-up for five years among 150 patients who received breast-conserving surgery with an understanding of surgical margin status which might be reported positive, close, or negative; the mean incidence of overall local recurrence is estimated at 8%. Higher values, however, were recorded in positive margin patients of 25%. Close and negative margins were significantly at 10% and 5%, respectively. Tumour size and grade, with the margin, are significant indicators of recurrence of p <0.05. In such findings lies the critical relevance of achieving the surgical margins clean in order to minimize the percentage of local recurrences and have better long term results in a patient with carcinoma breast.
