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

Four cases of oat cell (neuroendocrine) carcinoma of the breast are reported. Three patients died within 15 months of the diagnosis and the fourth patient is alive after 44 months. Histochemical, ultrastructural and mRNA markers of endocrine differentiation were present in three cases. These tumours show histological similarities to breast metastases of bronchial oat cell carcinoma, but a distinguishing feature is the presence of in situ ductal lesions. It appears that the breast is a further site which has to be added to the long list of extrapulmonary oat cell carcinomas.
