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

Invasive lobular carcinoma is the second most common type of invasive carcinoma of the breast. Although rare, invasive lobular carcinoma can lead to gastric metastases, which may appear several years after the initial diagnosis. The diagnosis is difficult, either because of its rarity or because of overlapping symptoms and imaging findings with primary gastric carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry is the key to diagnosis. We report a case of a 40-year-old woman with a previous history of invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast 2 years before, who presented recurrent and nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms. Imaging findings revealed linitis plastica and the biopsy showed the presence of signet ring cell neoplasia. After gastrectomy, immunohistochemistry demonstrated diffuse expression of GATA-3 and the presence of estrogen receptors in some neoplastic cells with CK20
