Rapidly Progressive Giant Malignant Phyllodes Tumor of the Breast: A Surgical Challenge.

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
Malignant phyllodes tumors are rare fibroepithelial breast neoplasms that may pose significant diagnostic and surgical challenges, particularly when they reach extreme dimensions. Complete surgical excision with adequate margins remains the cornerstone of treatment. We report the case of a 65-year-old female who presented with a progressively enlarging mass of the left breast over an 18-month period. Clinical examination revealed a massive palpable lesion occupying nearly the entire breast, resulting in marked distortion of the breast architecture. Due to the extensive size of the tumor, conventional imaging modalities could not be adequately performed. Core needle biopsy demonstrated findings consistent with a malignant phyllodes tumor. The patient subsequently underwent left mastectomy, and histopathological examination confirmed complete excision of a 29 × 26 × 17 cm mass with negative, adequate margins. Eight months postoperatively, a local recurrence was identified along the mastectomy scar. The patient underwent wide local excision of the recurrent lesion followed by flap reconstruction. At three-year follow-up, the patient remains free of disease recurrence.
