Invasive Micropapillary Carcinoma: A Rare Case of Male Breast Cancer.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Invasive micropapillary carcinoma (IMPC) is a rare form of breast cancer, accounting for 3.8-5.9% of all breast cancer types. Less than 1% of all breast cancer occurs in men and there have been only nine other cases of IMPC specifically in male patients reported in the literature. This case presents a 77-year-old Caucasian man who was found to have IMPC of the left breast after presenting for a painless mass in the left lower subareolar region. After a left modified radical mastectomy, the patient was found to have only one metastatic lymph node with his variant of IMPC being less aggressive requiring no further treatment other than annual surveillance with mammography.
