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

Malignant phyllodes tumors (MPTs) of the breast account for approximately 8% to 20% of all phyllodes tumors (PTs) and represent a rare but clinically significant subtype of breast malignancy. Diagnosis is based on the histologic criteria of increased stromal cellularity, stromal overgrowth, cytologic atypia, elevated mitotic activity, and infiltrative tumor margins. MPTs may be associated with malignant heterologous elements, although most tumors exhibit a single component. The coexistence of two or more heterologous components is extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of malignant phyllodes tumor in a 60-year-old female, characterized by heterologous components of osteosarcoma and pleomorphic liposarcoma. We detail the treatment and outcomes, and present a literature review summarizing cases with two or more heterologous elements. This study aims to expand clinical understanding, elucidate the prognostic significance of heterologous component types, and inform the diagnosis and treatment of this rare entity.
