Unusual Metastasis of Gastric Signet Ring Cell Carcinoma to the Breast: A Case Report of a Young Moroccan Patient.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Although gastric cancer is known to be an aggressive tumor that can spread throughout the body, breast metastases are uncommon. This entity is rarely reported in the literature, with an estimated incidence of 0.5 to 1.3%. We report a case of a rare association between a gastric subtype of signet ring cell carcinoma and metastasis to the breast. This uncommon situation is only documented through case reports. Most breast metastases have been detected after diagnosis of primary gastric cancer, during the first year. Several risk factors have been suggested to explain the aggressive behavior of these tumors, which correlates with very poor prognosis and short survival. We report the case of a 22-year-old female patient presenting with widespread metastatic gastric signet ring cell carcinoma with an unusual secondary site in the breast. The diagnosis was confirmed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and radiology, and the patient was treated with palliative chemotherapy in accordance with the decision of the multidisciplinary tumor board.
