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

We report a case of synchronous bilateral breast cancer in a patient with ambiguous external genitalia attributed to a 45,X/46,XY mosaicism. To our knowledge, this represents the first such case ever to be reported. Mammography, ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging all showed bilateral suspicious breast masses with microcalcifications. There were no radiological findings of muscle invasion or axillary lymphadenopathy. The patient was successfully treated by bilateral radical modified mastectomy followed by external irradiation and adjuvant endocrine therapy. Histological examination revealed a bilateral ductal carcinoma in situ, with a cribriform and papillary pattern and microfoci of infiltrating ductal carcinoma. The hormonal profile revealed high levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, and low levels of testosterone. Testicular sonography revealed small hypoechoic testicles with bilateral microlithiasis. This case shows that 45,X/46,XY men may have an increased risk of breast cancer and must be followed up carefully.
