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

Gastric metastases from breast cancer are difficult to distinguish from primary gastric cancer. We report two cases of gastric metastasis of breast cancer with a review of the literature. In the first case, a 77-year-old woman was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma after upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, which revealed an erosive lesion in the gastric corpus. She was treated with an aromatase inhibitor and a CDK4/6 inhibitor, but five years later, she developed multiple bone metastases and gastric lesions, and she is currently receiving weekly paclitaxel (PTX) and bev. In the second case, a 63-year-old woman underwent total mastectomy and axillary lymphadenectomy [invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC)]. Eleven years after the surgery, the patient complained of pharyngeal tightness, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed a type 4 gastric tumor in the gastric body and posterior wall. In conclusion, when a patient with ILC or advanced breast cancer presents with gastric symptoms and anemia, it is important to examine and treat the patient based on the possibility of gastric metastasis.
