Clinical characteristics and the associated risk factors of the development of bilateral breast cancers: A case-control study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2020. 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
backgroundThe clinical impacts of bilateralism on prognosis and clinical decision-making remain contradictory particularly in areas with low incidence and delayed diagnosis of primary breast cancer. Identification of women at risk of bilateral breast cancer is required to improve patient management and to design the appropriate surveillance.
methodsA total of 1083 women were enrolled and analyzed for the presence of synchronous and metachronous bilateral breast cancer as cases and unilateral breast cancer as controls during the median follow-up of 4.8 years.
resultsThe incidence of bilateral breast cancer was 7.5% (81 of 1083). In comparison with unilateral breast cancers, bilateral cases were significantly diagnosed in younger women (
conclusionPatients with first primary breast tumors with lobular histological type and advanced stages were observed to have higher risks for the development of contralateral breast cancers.
