Intestinal metastasis from breast invasive ductal carcinoma after a long latency: case report and literature review.
Article in OncoTargets and therapy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Intestinal metastasis from breast cancer (BC) is rarely encountered in clinical practice. Nonspecific symptoms and long latency result in misdiagnosis as a primary intestinal tumor. Therefore, increased awareness of bowel metastasis secondary to BC and a thorough understanding of the clinical and molecular features, and intervention of bowel metastasis are fundamental to avoid the delay of correct diagnosis and management. Herein, we documented a BC patient who experienced progressive bellyache and vomiting 16 years after simplified radical mastectomy. Abdominal CT scan revealed localized thickening of the small intestine wall and lumen narrowing, initially diagnosed as a primary intestinal tumor. The subsequent operation resolved the intestinal obstruction and confirmed the diagnosis of intestinal involvement of BC. Radical local treatment followed by systemic intervention contributed to a better outcome. Our case indicates that intestinal metastasis should be included in the diagnostic checklist in patients presented with any intestinal symptom even with a remote history of BC. Our case is of great value in its rarity and calls for the awareness of clinicians for this special entity to guarantee the accurate and prompt diagnosis and treatment, and optimize the patient's prognosis.
