Case Report: Response to Immunotherapy and Anti-Androgen Therapy in Male Occult Triple-Negative Breast Cancer.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Male occult triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an exceedingly rare form of breast cancer, and prospective information regarding its management is therefore lacking. Current treatment strategies are largely extrapolated from clinical trials of female breast cancer, leading to substantial knowledge gaps concerning the optimal management of male breast cancer. Here, we present a male patient with occult TNBC who responded to immunotherapy, with an obvious reduction in his tumor burden following antiandrogen therapy, after heavy treatment with several lines of chemotherapy. This case highlights the potential efficacy of immunotherapy in cases of male TNBC and suggests a role for antiandrogen therapy in managing patients with luminal androgen receptor-positive TNBC.
