Breast cancer with an initial gastrointestinal presentation: a case report and literature review.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The most common sites of breast cancer metastasis are the lymph nodes, lungs, bones, and liver. Gastrointestinal (GI) metastasis is relatively rare and often occurs within several years after a breast cancer diagnosis. Most patients experience abdominal pain, anorexia, bleeding, vomiting, and other digestive system symptoms, symptoms which are difficult to distinguish from primary gastric cancer. There is no characteristic change seen under a digestive tract endoscopy, and the difference in morphology under the pathological microscope from that of primary poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma is so small that it can easily cause a misdiagnosis. This paper reports the case of 46-year-old female patient whose first symptom was GI discomfort. She was hospitalized for GI surgery with an unknown medical history, but, during the preoperative examination, multiple breast masses were found on both sides, which were proved by pathology to be invasive lobular cancer. According to the medical literature, bilateral breast cancer with gastric metastasis is very rare, and, so far, this is the first reported case. Despite it being a rare phenomenon, it is necessary to be aware of the possibility of metastatic lobular carcinoma in the diagnosis of poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma by biopsy.
