Primary breast lymphoma in males: Incidence, demographics, prognostic factors, survival, and comparisons with females.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 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
Background: Primary breast lymphoma (PBL) is a rare disease condition and is mainly observed in females. No male PBL cohorts were reported previously. This study aims to investigate the incidence, clinical characteristics, prognostic factors, and survival outcomes among male PBL patients and also to perform comparisons between males and females. Methods: Patients diagnosed with PBL between 2000 and 2019 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were identified. Age-adjusted incidence rates were calculated by year and age for trend analysis. Univariate and multivariate Cox hazard proportional regression analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors. Survival comparisons were conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. The propensity matching score (PSM) method was used to balance demographics. Results: The incidence rate of 122 male PBL patients diagnosed in the period of 2000 to 2019 was 0.169 (95% CI: 0.140-2.203) per million persons, which was much lower than that of 2,543 females (1.59, 95% CI: 1.53-1.65). Clinical demographics were similar between females and males, except for lymphoma subtype distribution ( Conclusions: This study first analyzed male patients with PBL involving incidence, clinical characteristics, and survival data. Sex disparity was also observed in the survival outcome of the disease.
