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

backgroundRecent reports have described cases of metachronous breast metastasis in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, no similar cases of synchronous breast metastasis have been reported, and evidence that can be used to support the clinical diagnosis of stage IV nasopharyngeal carcinoma in patients with concurrent breast metastasis remains lacking. Therefore, additional evidence is required to elucidate the clinical characteristics of this condition and aid in the development of optimal management strategies. CASE SUMMARY: We report the case of a 46-year-old woman who visited our hospital with a right breast mass as the first symptom. The first pathological biopsy report suggested triple-negative breast invasive carcinoma. Subsequent imaging revealed a nasopharyngeal mass. Further puncture biopsy of the nasopharyngeal mass, molecular pathological Epstein-Barr virus

conclusionThis case report suggests that breast specialists should carefully rule out secondary breast cancers when diagnosing and treating breast masses. Furthermore, clinicians should aim to identify the pathological type of the tumor to obtain the most accurate diagnosis and prevent excessive diagnosis and treatment.
