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

BACKGROUND Metastasis to the stomach can be found as the first presentation of breast cancer, although it is very rare. The authors report an unusual case of metastasis to the stomach as the first presentation of breast cancer, which had a good prognosis. CASE REPORT A 51-year-old female underwent radical subtotal gastrectomy and chemotherapy because of gastric cancer with distant metastasis. At the time of diagnosis of gastric cancer, she had a negative result from routine mammography. One year later, a newly detected lesion on routine mammography was confirmed as breast cancer. Initial diagnosis of gastric cancer was changed to metastatic carcinoma from breast cancer through immunohistochemistry after bilateral mastectomy. After the completion of chemotherapy, she is currently receiving treatment with letrozole, without recurrence for 66 months. CONCLUSIONS Considering metastasis from breast cancer might be needed when unusual presentation of gastric cancer is observed even though gastric cancer is still one of the most common malignancies in Korea. Immunohistochemical analysis is helpful for diagnosis. Surgery for metastatic carcinoma of the stomach could be another option for treatment.
