Metaplastic Breast Carcinoma Presenting as a Mixed Solid and Cystic Lesion.

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 objective of this paper is to report a rare presentation of metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) as a mixed solid/cystic mass and emphasize the possibility of having a different biopsy report and final diagnosis. MBC is a rare type of breast cancer consisting of mesenchymal or mixed mesenchymal and epithelial components. It is believed to result from the conversion of glandular cells into non-glandular cells through various forms of mutations. It is common in females and more frequent in older women. MBC is a triple-negative breast cancer (progestin receptor, estrogen receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) with a very poor prognosis when compared with other types of breast cancers. This is a case of an 84-year-old woman presenting with rapidly growing mixed solid and cystic breast mass with a final diagnosis of MBC. The initial biopsy report was high-grade ductal carcinoma in situ. This is an unusual presentation of MBC.
