Breast metastasis from EGFR/ALK negative lung adenocarcinoma: A case report.
Article in Medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
introductionLung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer. Distant metastasis of lung adenocarcinoma often occurs in multiple organs. The common metastasis sites of lung cancer include the lungs, brain, bones, adrenal glands, and lymph nodes; however, breast metastasis is rare. PATIENT CONCERNS: In this report, we describe a case of breast metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma. A 55-year-old woman reported left breast pain for more than 1 month. DIAGNOSIS: Based on imaging, pathological examination, and immunohistochemical examination, the diagnosis of breast metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma was confirmed. Epidermal growth factor receptor mutations and anaplastic lymphoma kinase rearrangement were not detected by next-generation sequencing.
interventionsThe patient was treated with six courses of a combination of albumin-bound paclitaxel, cisplatin, and bevacizumab over 21 days. OUTCOMES: After six cycles of palliative chemotherapy, her left breast pain and swelling subsided; in addition, her serum CA12-5, CYFRA, and CEA levels normalized by April 2019. PR status was evaluated as per the RECIST 1.1 criteria. The patient developed brain metastases 3 months later and died due to multiple organ failure.
conclusionThe possibility of breast metastasis should be considered in patients with existing malignant tumors and breast pain. Clinical and imaging examinations are helpful for diagnosis, and pathological and immunohistochemical analyses are the most important diagnostic tools.
