Goserelin Ovarian Ablation Failure in Premenopausal Women With Breast Cancer.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer known worldwide in women. It is a heterogeneous, phenotypically diverse disease composed of several biologic subtypes that have distinct behavior and response to therapy. Hormone receptor-positive (i.e., estrogen [ER] and/or progesterone [PR] receptor-positive) breast cancers comprise the most common types of breast cancer, accounting for 75% of all cases. This makes endocrine therapy the standardized treatment for patients with ER+/PR+ breast cancer. Drugs that block estrogen receptors or that lower estrogen levels are the mainstay of treatment. High-risk patients benefit from the addition of ovarian function suppression (OFS)/ablation to either an aromatase inhibitor (AI) or tamoxifen. This case report discusses a 36-year-old premenopausal female who presented with an abnormal right breast lump in the upper outer quadrant of the right breast. Due to high suspicion of malignancy, a biopsy was performed which showed features of both lobular and ductal carcinoma with ER and PR positivity, HER 2 was negative. The patient underwent mastectomy with axillary lymph node removal due to concern for multifocal disease. No clinically relevant genetic mutations were present. Oncotype DX breast recurrence score was 16 and no chemotherapy was offered. Due to large tumor size, young age OFS with goserelin 3.6mg/28 days and letrozole 2.5 mg once daily was recommended. After 16 months of treatment, the patient developed a failure of goserelin-induced ovarian suppression. This case report highlights the possibility of the development of hormonal resistance after long-term use of goserelin.
