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
Background: In today's world, the concept of gender has been scrutinized and an appreciation for those who experience dysphoria with their birth sex and gender classification is becoming more commonplace. Keeping in mind the patients gender orientation in addition to their birth sex is necessary when assessing health conditions more prevalent in one sex, such as breast cancer. Case Description: In this report, we present a 51-year-old African American transgender female with history of chemotherapy and mantle-field radiation treatment for sub-clavicular and mediastinal Hodgkin's lymphoma 24 years prior to presentation of a new left neck mass. The enlarged lymph node was removed revealing metastatic salivary adenocarcinoma with features corresponding to metastatic breast carcinoma. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis detected metastasis to the pelvis and a few lucent bone lesions in the lumbar spine. Of note, the patient underwent free silicone injections into both breasts to emphasize her desired gender three years after treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma. Based on her history of metastatic disease and history of mantle radiation, it was determined that her previous cancer diagnoses were likely due to metastatic breast cancer that was obscured by silicone injections. Bilateral skin-sparing mastectomy was performed, patient recovered well, and continued with palliative care at follow up. Conclusions: Even though there is significant data regarding the incidence of breast cancer in the separate female and male populations, review of the literature shows minimal information regarding incidence in the transgender population. Our hope is that this report will contribute to the current base of knowledge present in the literature while also bringing attention to the need for further investigation of sex-specific diseases in transgender individuals.
