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

backgroundGastrointestinal metastasis from primary breast carcinoma is uncommon, anorectal involvement is extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 65-year old woman who underwent treatment for an infiltrative lobular carcinoma of the left breast with bone metastases and who developed metastasis of the rectum and anal canal 4 years later.

conclusionsA patient with a history of breast cancer, especially lobular carcinoma, presenting with anorectal symptoms, should raise the suspicion of metastatic disease.
