Metastatic spread of serous ovarian carcinoma to the bilateral breasts: a rare presentation.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A woman presented with a mass in her right breast. She had previously been treated with carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab for serous ovarian carcinoma diagnosed 5 years previously and was currently on maintenance olaparib. A right breast mammogram demonstrated periareolar skin thickening and the physical examination revealed an erythematous, non-blanching cutaneous lesion. A punch biopsy revealed high-grade serous carcinoma of ovarian origin, positive for PAX-8, WT-1 and p53. Positron emission tomogram-CT scan showed diffusely increased fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the right breast. She was treated with external beam radiation therapy to the right breast and regional lymphatics and received 5200 cGy in 20 fractions to the right breast and supraclavicular region with good response. Two weeks after completing radiation therapy, she presented with a new lesion inferior to her left areola, concerning for metastasis to the contralateral breast. Subsequent biopsy of the left breast identified metastatic serous ovarian carcinoma for which she received an additional 5200 cGy in 20 fractions to the breast.
