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

Metastatic carcinoma infiltrating the breast from extramammary malignancies is an infrequent occurrence. Extramammary carcinomas that may be metastatic to the breast include gastrointestinal cancers, ovarian cancer, and lung cancer, among others. These metastatic lesions often pose a diagnostic challenge, resembling primary breast cancer in both clinical and radiographic presentations. The incidence of esophageal cancer metastasizing to the breast is low. Esophageal cancer more commonly spreads to locoregional lymph nodes, lungs, liver, and bone. We present a unique case where primary esophageal adenocarcinoma metastasized to the breast. Our aim is to raise diagnostic awareness by delineating the clinical and pathological findings of this exceptionally infrequent disease.
