Concurrent Breast Carcinoma and Follicular Lymphoma: A Case Series.
Article in The American journal of case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
BACKGROUND The incidence of multiple primaries in cancer patients is 2-17%. However, the synchronous co-occurrence of adenocarcinoma of the breast and follicular lymphoma is rare. CASE REPORT We describe a case series of 3 post-menopausal women who presented to our institute with a breast lump. On further investigations, 2 of them had invasive ductal carcinoma and 1 had invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast. All 3 cancers were estrogen/progesterone receptor (ER/PR)-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2)-negative. During the staging PET scans, all 3 patients had increased FDG uptake in axillary, mesenteric, and inguinal lymph nodes, respectively, raising concerns for metastatic disease. However, subsequent biopsies revealed them as follicular lymphomas occurring as a second concurrent primary malignancy. All patients underwent radical mastectomies with sentinel lymph node dissection followed by chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. Most of the lymphomas were low grade, which the oncologist closely followed. CONCLUSIONS Very few cases of breast cancer and follicular lymphoma co-occur; this is not limited to the axillary lymph nodes and can occur in any part of the lymphatic chain. Regional lymph node enlargement detected on examination or imaging does not always indicate metastasis. A high index of suspicion is needed followed by lymph node biopsy to rule out any second primary malignancy.
