Adrenal Gland Metastasis of Breast Invasive Mucinous Carcinoma: A Rare Case Report and Review of Literature.
Article in Case reports in oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The adrenal gland is a frequent site for metastasis, and the majority of the metastatic lesions of the adrenal gland normally originate from lung cancer, colon cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and melanoma. However, adrenal gland metastasis from breast invasive mucinous carcinoma is extremely rare. This report described a rare case of right adrenal gland metastasis in a 48-year-old female, who was diagnosed with breast invasive mucinous carcinoma and underwent right modified radical mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection 5 years previously. A mass located on the right adrenal gland was detected during a routine examination 2 months ago. The patient was asymptomatic and adrenal gland MRI revealed a mass in the right adrenal gland. Definitive preoperative diagnosis failed to be established. Right adrenal gland laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed and the diagnosis of adrenal gland metastasis of breast carcinoma was confirmed by pathological and immunohistochemical examination, especially ER, PR, GATA3, and HER-2. The patient remained in good condition by the time of writing.
