Pure mucinous adenocarcinoma of the breast with the rare lymphoplasmacytic infiltration: A case report with review of literature.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Key Clinical Message: A unique ER/PR-positive mucinous adenocarcinoma of breast but CK7/CK20 negativity. A rare finding of Lymphoplasmacytic Infiltration is noted. Successful treatment included modified radical mastectomy and tamoxifen-based therapy, leads to remission. Abstract: Mucinous carcinoma, which is characterized by the presence of abundant extracellular mucin, is a rare and distinctive subtype of invasive breast cancer. This subtype accounts for less than 5% of all invasive breast cancers, with pure mucinous carcinoma representing only around 2%. It is most commonly found in older patients, typically in the sixth to early eighth decade of life. We present the case of a 55-year-old female with a 15-year history of a painless, gradually enlarging palpable lump on her left breast. Upon examination, a 5 × 5 cm lump with well-defined margins and a hard consistency was found in the lower outer quadrant of the left breast. Histopathological examination confirmed a diagnosis of Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of the Left Breast. The patient underwent modified radical mastectomy and received adjuvant endocrine therapy with tamoxifen due to hormone receptor-positive status. Mucinous carcinoma of the breast is a unique entity with specific histological features including the presence of extracellular mucin pools. Immunohistochemical staining is crucial for determining hormone receptor status, which can guide treatment decisions. Although surgical intervention is the primary approach, the extent of surgery may vary, ranging from lumpectomy to mastectomy. Adjuvant therapies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy may also be considered based on individual cases. This case underscores the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in managing rare subtypes of breast cancer, such as mucinous carcinoma. Accurate diagnosis, appropriate surgical intervention, adjuvant therapy, and long-term follow-up are critical components of treatment.
