Metaplastic Breast Carcinoma in a 37-Year-Old Female: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a rare and aggressive histologic subtype of cancer. Because of its rarity and heterogeneity, the management of these patients is challenging. Here, we present the case of a rapidly progressive MBC with mesenchymal differentiation in a 37-year-old female, treated with trimodal therapy consisting of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin, followed by dose-dense cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin (ddAC), modified radical left mastectomy, and adjuvant radiotherapy. Despite the need to anticipate the surgery after the first cycle of ddAC, because of a life-treating adverse event, there was a pathologic complete response. Nevertheless, 6.2 months after completing adjuvant radiotherapy, the patient had a recurrence on the central nervous system (CNS) (two lesions), which was managed with excisional biopsy and stereotactic body radiation therapy. The patient also started "complementary" chemotherapy with capecitabine. Still, 18 months after being diagnosed, she died due to CNS disease progression.
