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

introduction and importanceBreast cancer in a male patient is an uncommon condition known by the general public yet of the same concern as in a female patient. CASE PRESENTATION: A 64-year-old male with a 25 years history of a progressive swelling in the right breast, underwent an ultrasound guided biopsy which revealed a mucinous carcinoma of grade SBR I, right mastectomy with lymph-node dissection were done. His postoperative period was uneventful and patient was a live on 7th post-operative day. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are being considered. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Being rare, breast cancer in males should be fully evaluated and investigated to avoid the associated morbidity and mortality.

conclusionMale breast cancer though rare exists and its management follows the same principles as in women. There is a need to do genetic tests to identify patients at risk and guide preventive measures in case of any breast swelling despite the gender.
