Metastases of lobular breast carcinoma in the terminal ileum and ileocaecal valve.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Gastrointestinal (GI) metastases from primary breast carcinoma are rare but more common in invasive lobular carcinoma than invasive ductal carcinoma. The symptoms may be non-specific and the presentation can occur many years after the initial primary breast carcinoma. Radiological and endoscopic findings can be difficult to distinguish from inflammatory bowel disease and primary carcinoma of the GI tract. Histological and immunohistopathology assessment will usually confirm the diagnosis of metastatic breast carcinoma. We report the first case of lobular breast carcinoma metastasizing to the terminal ileum and ileocaecal valve 19 years following treatment for breast cancer in an 82-year-old woman. Staging investigations revealed synchronous metastases in bones and the pleura. A high index of suspicion and awareness of the potential long interval in the presentation of metastatic breast cancer help in making an accurate diagnosis and rapid clinical management.
