A cerebellopontine angle metastatis of a male breast cancer: Case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Male breast cancer is rare, less than 1% of men's cancers. The tumors occurring in the cerebellopontine angle remain a rare entity. Features suggestive of metastasis are acute onset, rapid progression of symptoms. We report a case of a 72-year-old man had a mastectomy and an axillary lymph node dissection for a breast cancer 22 years prior to this report. The patient was admitted with deterioration of level of consciousness with intracranial hypertension syndrome. The magnetic resonance imaging showed a cystic lesion in the left cerebellar hemisphere and the prepontine cistern. We proceeded to a large tumor resection. On the follow up, the patient presented a delayed emergence. A CT scan showed a small hematoma at the surgical site and triventricular hydrocephalus for which the patient underwent a ventriculoperitoneal shunt. This is the first described cerebellopontine angle metastasis of a male breast cancer and the first described case of a metastatic triple hormone negative breast cancer to the brain.
