Lung cancer metastasis to the breast mimicking inflammatory breast carcinoma on imaging.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2019. 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
While metastatic disease to the breast has been documented from many primary neoplasms with incidence ranging from 0.2% to approximately 2.7% among reported clinical cases, breast cancer metastases resulting from a primary lung neoplasm is significantly less commonly reported in the literature. Routes of metastatic spread of lung neoplasms include both hematologic and lymphatic routes. We present a case of biopsy proven lymphangitic spread of primary lung neoplasm to the ipsilateral breast and axillary nodes mimicking inflammatory breast cancer. It remains crucial to differentiate between extramammary diseases with metastatic deposits in the breast from a primary breast neoplasm as treatment remains very different between these entities. As in this case, the pathologic, histologic, and immunohistochemistry analyses are critical in determining the origin of the malignant cells and formulating a treatment plan.
