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
Complete cure of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is still considered difficult even after the development of new drugs. While new drugs have been continuously developed, conventional drugs such as mitomycin C (MMC) and methotrexate (MTX) have become less used. Combination chemotherapy with MMC and MTX (MMC/MTX) was reported to be effective for 9.7-19.4% of 31 patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2)-negative MBC who were aggressively treated with anthracycline, taxane, capecitabine, and vinorelbine. However, its efficacy, when it is used after newly developed drugs such as eribulin and bevacizumab, is yet to be evaluated. We here introduce one case in which MMC/MTX was effective for MBC that was resistant to chemotherapy with eribulin, vinorelbine, and bevacizumab with paclitaxel after sequential treatment with anthracycline, taxane, capecitabine, and several hormonal therapies. Lung metastasis was newly observed after sequential treatment of MBC for 6 years. Although the disease was resistant to chemotherapy of eribulin, vinorelbine, and bevacizumab with paclitaxel, it responded well to the treatment of MMC/MTX, which continued for 7 months. This case suggests that MMC/MTX could be an effective treatment for MBC patients when the disease progressively develops even after aggressive treatment with multiple regimens.
