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

During breast cancer recurrence, drug therapy is planned based on the biological characteristics of the primary tumor. However, the mechanisms underlying these changes have not yet been clarified. A 59-year-old woman underwent breast cancer surgery 23 years previously and received postoperative hormone therapy for 2 years. She had abdominal distention and ascites effusion and was diagnosed with carcinomatous peritonitis due to luminal-type breast cancer after ascites puncture. She received up to the fourth line of treatment. Subsequently, pleural effusion was observed and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 type breast cancer was diagnosed because of pleurodesis. This case suggests that the cell block diagnostic method based on thoracic and ascites fluid cytology is useful not only for confirming the primary tumor but also for diagnosing the biological characteristics of breast cancer. In the treatment of breast cancer recurrence, it is important to plan the treatment, including aggressive re-biopsy of metastases.
