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

Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD) is a rare neurological complication of cancer characterized by rapid development of cerebellar ataxia. We herein present a case of a 67-year-old female patient with PCD caused by breast cancer. The patient presented with progressively worsening cerebellar deficits that had been misdiagnosed for several months prior to the identification of the anti-Yo autoantibodies in the serum. A whole-body positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan revealed a lesion in the lower outer quadrant of the left breast with slightly increased metabolism. On mammography, a lobulated high-density mass was identified in the left breast. The patient underwent left breast lumpectomy and the histological examination confirmed the presence of an invasive ductal carcinoma. After breast surgery,
