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

A 48-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a lump in her left breast. She was diagnosed with synchronous papillary thyroid carcinoma and breast ductal carcinoma. The patient underwent four cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide, and one cycle of docetaxel. She then underwent left breast mastectomy and radical resection of thyroid cancer (total thyroidectomy and bilateral central group [levels VI and VII] lymph node dissection) at the same time. She was administered three cycles of chemotherapy with docetaxel and radiotherapy. The patient had no metastasis in the follow-up period. A literature search was performed to characterize the epidemiology, etiology, management, and prognosis of this condition. We speculate that hormone treatment could be a probable pathogenesis of synchronous breast and thyroid cancers.
