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

Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast is extremely rare. More than 97% of neuroendocrine tumors occur in the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Three cases that have been operated in our clinic and had a diagnosis of primary neuroendocrine carcinoma of the breast were assessed, along with literature data. Histopathological diagnoses were obtained by preoperative core needle biopsy. Breast-conserving surgery was performed in two cases, and modified radical mastectomy in one. In all cases, immunohistochemical studies were positive for neuron-specific enolase and synaptophysin. All patients received adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) and one patient received additional radiotherapy (RT). Recurrence or distant metastasis was not detected during long-term follow-up after surgery.
