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

Bilateral breast cancer in males is an exceedingly rare diagnosis. In this case report, we will discuss the ultrafast sequence findings of a bilateral male breast cancer with different subtypes on his staging dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI with ultrafast technique. A 94-year-old male presented with bilateral palpable complaints in his breasts. Diagnostic mammography and ultrasound images demonstrated bilateral irregular masses with nipple retraction. Biopsies were performed and the histopathologic examination revealed invasive breast carcinoma of no special type in 1 breast and invasive micropapillary carcinoma in the other breast. Staging MRI with ultrafast sequence showed significant enhancement differences between 2 different subtypes, correlating with the different levels of tumor aggressiveness. Different ultrafast metrics, such as time-to-enhancement and maximum slope, may help to differentiate between several subtypes of breast cancer and serve as prognostic indicators. This case report discusses the application of ultrafast sequence in predicting breast cancer subtypes in a male patient with bilateral disease.
