1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionSecondary lesions in the breast from extramammary malignancies are rarely encountered in medical practice. Medical imaging of the breast (mammography and ultrasonography) may not differentiate between a primary breast mass and a secondary tumor from an extramammary malignancy. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 90-year-old woman with a history of thyroid cancer, skin metastasis, thyroidectomy, and radiotherapy 12 years prior presented with pain in the left breast and no palpable masses in either breast or axilla. Mammography and ultrasonography of the breast confirmed a suspicious lesion in the upper outer quadrant of the left breast. Histopathology of the core biopsy, including immune histochemistry staining of the lesion, confirmed secondary follicular carcinoma of the thyroid.

conclusionThyroid cancer is a rare extramammary malignancy that may metastasize to the breast; however, it may rarely occur a few years after thyroidectomy and radiotherapy.
