Successful treatment of a case of hormone receptor-positive metastatic extramammary Paget disease with tamoxifen.
Article in Investigational new drugs, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous adenocarcinoma that usually is of epidermal origin and shows glandular differentiation and that is treated by wide local excision depending on the disease extent. For widely metastatic disease, however, a standard treatment remains to be established. Similar to breast cancer, EMPD has been found to overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) or hormone receptors (HRs). Whereas HER2-directed therapy was recently shown to be effective for HER2-positive EMPD, the potential role of endocrine therapy for HR-positive EMPD has remained unknown. We here report a case of metastatic EMPD with HR positivity that was successfully treated with the selective estrogen receptor modulator tamoxifen. This first-line treatment of systemic metastasis resulted in durable tumor regression for > 20 months without any treatment-related toxicities. This is the first report to reveal the promise of tamoxifen as a safe and effective treatment for HR-positive metastatic EMPD.
