Unusual presentation of a small cell lung cancer with bilateral breast metastases: Case report and a brief review of the literature.
Article in Respiratory medicine case reports, 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
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a smoker's disease and occurs almost exclusively in smokers. SCLC is a high-grade neuroendocrine tumor and commonly presents as a central tumor with bulky mediastinal adenopathy. It is notorious for causing widespread disease and paraneoplastic syndromes. The usual sites of metastasis include the liver, brain, bone, and adrenals. SCLC presenting with breast metastasis is unusual; however, there are reports of unilateral and bilateral breast metastases. SCLC with bilateral breast metastases is extremely rare, with only five previously reported cases available in the literature. We are taking this opportunity to report and add to the growing literature on the unusual presentation of a small cell lung cancer with bilateral breast metastases.
