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

backgroundNew localization devices including radiofrequency identification (RFID) tags are an alternative to wire localization given the benefits of localization prior to the day of surgery. We sought to compare bracketed lumpectomy with RFID tag with wire localization with regards to margin status and local recurrence. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis is a single center retrospective study of patients undergoing bracketed lumpectomy for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) or invasive breast cancer with RFID tag or wire localization between January 2018 and July 2024. Bracketing distance, total lumpectomy volume, margin status, and oncologic outcomes were compared.

resultsA total of 496 patients underwent bracketed lumpectomy, including 164 with RFID localization and 332 with wire localization, with a median follow-up of 33 months. The median bracketed distance between localization devices was similar between the wire localization group (30.4 mm

conclusionsOur findings demonstrate equivalent positive margin, re-excision, and recurrence rates between wire and RFID tag bracketed localization techniques with observed increased median specimen volume with tag localization.
