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

Breast metastasis is a rare pattern of distant metastasis from nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) following curative treatment. The present study reported two patients with breast metastasis from NPC and reviewed four such patients reported in the literature, including the analysis of clinical profiles, pathological diagnoses, treatment strategies and outcomes. The breast is a potential metastatic site for patients with NPC following curative treatment; however, thus far, only metachronous breast metastasis has been reported. Infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was identified in the breast metastasis sites of the two patients investigated in the current study using
