Impact of concurrent lobular carcinoma in situ on recurrence outcomes in patients with classic and pleomorphic invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast.
Article in Breast cancer research and treatment, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeWe investigated outcomes of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) with or without concurrent lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) in patients with classic or pleomorphic ILC.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed a single-institution database of patients with stage I-III ILC. We compared tumor features, treatment, and recurrence free survival (RFS) in patients with ILC-alone versus ILC + LCIS stratified by ILC tumor subtype. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used for multivariate analysis.
resultsOf the 786 cases of ILC, 542 were classic and 92 were pleomorphic, with 70.6% overall having concurrent LCIS. Overall, ILC + LCIS cases were less often T3 (p = 0.037) and had lower rates of N2/N3 disease (p = 0.026) than ILC-alone. Concomitant LCIS was also associated with greater progesterone receptor (PR) positivity (p = 0.016), and was more commonly grade 2 and less often grade 1 compared to ILC-alone (p = 0.008). Treatment differed, with ILC + LCIS cases receiving less chemotherapy (p = 0.016) and more mastectomy (p = 0.015). Among patients with classic ILC, the presence of concomitant LCIS was not associated with different RFS. However, among those with pleomorphic ILC, ILC + LCIS was associated with significantly improved RFS compared to ILC-alone (HR 0.31, 95% confidence interval 0.10-0.96, p = 0.043).
conclusionWhile the presence of LCIS was not associated with RFS in classic ILC in this dataset, it is a favorable prognostic factor in pleomorphic ILC, suggesting a potentially differential role in ILC subtypes.
