Breast cancer metastasis to the spleen: a case report and literature review.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Splenic metastasis from cancers is extremely rare. They usually occur and are detected simultaneously with metastasis to other organs. We present a case of splenic metastasis from carcinoma of the breast occurring 5 years after initial treatment. The metastatic recurrence was an oligometastic form made from the association of a unique bone metastasis to a rib and the metastasis to the spleen. Treatment of the metastatic recurrence was a second line hormonotherapy as the primitive tumor was estrogen receptors positive and gave a 2 year's long control of the disease. A clinical progression occurred then, the patient complained from pain in the left hypochondrium and was objective on [18F]-FDG PET which leaded to splenectomy. This case is being reported because of the rarity of the lesion and its originality is the first reported case with use of an
