A Late Recurrent Metastatic Breast Cancer Mimicking Primary Pancreatic Cancer: Case Report.
Article in Journal of investigative medicine high impact case reports. 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
Metastasis to the pancreas from malignant tumors is a rare event, representing only 1% to 2% of all pancreatic neoplasms. They occur in 2 different clinicopathological settings: as a manifestation in widespread metastatic disease or as an isolated mass in the pancreas. We report the case of a 41-year-old woman who had a history of invasive lobular breast cancer treated with radical surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. After 21 years of total remission, she presented for severe lower back pain with jaundice, nausea, and loss of 9 kg in 3 months. Abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a hyper vascularized, irregular solid lesion of 2.6 cm × 2.1 cm in the head of the pancreas with discreet biliary duct dilatation and coelio-mesenteric enlarged lymph nodes measuring 2 cm. The diagnosis of pancreatic metastasis from a lobular breast carcinoma was made by percutaneous biopsy of pancreatic lesion. The multidisciplinary committee decided a palliative treatment. The patient received chemotherapy. The take home message from his case is that we should keep in mind the hypothesis of a solitary metastasis to the pancreas, when the pancreatic lesion develops in a patient who had a clinical history of previous neoplasm especially in those which is known to potentially metastasize to pancreas.
