The August 1999 article by Jatoi et al, entitled "Significance of Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis in Primary Breast Cancer" (J Clin Oncol 17:2334-2340, 1999), contained a paragraph in which three sentences were illegible due to a technical problem with the printing process.
The third, fourth, and fifth sentences of the first paragraph of the Discussion section read:
"However, his analysis did not account for the confounding effects of other prognostic factors on survival, and the possibility that nodal status was a surrogate for these other variables could not be excluded. Subsequently, Mittra and MacRae16 undertook a meta-analysis of published correlations between various prognostic factors in breast cancer and concluded that axillary lymph node status is simply a reflection of the chronologic age of the tumor. Yet, a meta-analysis has pitfalls, many of which were acknowledged by the authors."
