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

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women and has been extensively studied; however, male BC (MBC) is rare with limited clinical data. Treatment options for MBC are extrapolated from clinical studies in BC in women and have traditionally excluded MBC cases. Over the past decade, an increase in the incidence of MBC has been seen. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively analyze the clinical, pathological, and treatment-related characteristics of MBC cases within our institution's database. MBC cases from 2010 to 2021 at Methodist Dallas Medical Center (MDMC), Dallas, USA, were reviewed retrospectively from the electronic health record and database, and clinical information was obtained. During this time period from 2010 to 2021, there was a total of 1,784 cases of BC with only eight cases (0.45%) consisting of MBC. In our cohort, 75% of MBC cases had a family history of cancer in a first-degree relative. Additionally, 100% of all MBC cases are hormone receptor-positive. No cases of MBC had HER2/neu over-expression. Fifty percent of our MBC patients were diagnosed with locally advanced tumors or metastatic disease. The overall survival (OS) of MBC in our study was 72%.
