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

backgroundSimultaneous or consequent development of multiple solid tumors might be faced in some patients, especially the young. These tumors might be related to certain hereditary cancer syndromes or certain genetic predispositions. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 19-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer to the contralateral axillary lymph node, associated with simultaneous osteosarcoma of the left lower femur. As she did not fit into any of the familial cancer syndromes, genetic predisposition was suspected. We detected MLH1 and MSH2 promotor methylation (PM), microsatellite instability (MSI), and different mutational events in both tumors. BRCA1 gene mutations were detected in the breast tumor, with reduced mRNA expression of BRCA1&2. ERCC1, MLH1 and MSH2, especially in OS, and RRM1 was overexpressed in both tumors.

conclusionsAberrations in MMR genes could explain simultaneous or consequent development of multiple solid tumors, especially in a young patient. We recommend detecting these defects, close follow-up for those patients, and genetic counseling for their family members. Further studies in a larger population are essential to support our results.
