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

Breast carcinoma is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women. In up to 30%, distant metastases will occur; however, ileocecal metastases are rare. Although there have been cases reported that demonstrate ileocecal metastases of breast carcinoma, PET/CT-negative cases have never been described. We present a patient with a small bowel obstruction, preoperatively complicated by pulmonary embolisms. The patient underwent placement of an inferior vena cava filter followed by hemicolectomy. Pathological examination revealed ileocecal lobular breast carcinoma metastases and adjacent peritoneal carcinomatosis, which had shown no intestinal
