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

backgroundBladder cancer (BC) usually metastasizes to the lymph nodes, bone, lung, liver and peritoneum, but rarely in the breast. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a 66-year-old female diagnosed with a massive bladder tumor, who presented a right mammary nodule after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. A biopsy of the nodule did not permit a definite diagnosis of metastatic spread, which was confirmed by excision of the nodule. In the literature, we found only 7 other similar cases of BC metastasis to the breast. Currently, a non-invasive method for differentiating a breast metastasis from primary cancer is lacking, although there are some clinical and radiological aspects that may help the diagnosis. Histological examination provides diagnostic certainty.

conclusionBreast metastases from BC are unusual and consequently difficult to identify without non-invasive tools. Clinical history and histological study play a pivotal role in determining the correct diagnosis.
