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

Male breast cancer is a rarely encountered disease, when compared with female breast cancer, often detected in more advanced stage at the time of diagnosis, and associated with more lymph node metastasis rates, more estrogen receptors positivity, and less human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 expression (HER-2) rates. Surgical management also shows some difference, where the most common operative technique of male breast cancer patients is mastectomy and/or axillary surgery. Triple-negative breast cancer is less frequent than other subtypes and is associated with poorer prognosis. This is because of its association with higher histopathological grade than that in other types of breast cancer. Only fewer treatment options are available compared to hormone-positive, HER-2 positive breast cancer. We are present a case of 71-year-old gentleman with triple-negative breast cancer.
