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

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women and is caused by the uncontrolled proliferation of breast cells. Metastases from breast cancer to the central nervous system have been described frequently in the literature, but dural metastases without cerebral parenchymal involvement are rarely reported. The latter condition is known as isolated pachymeningeal metastasis (IPM). Herein, we report the case of a 52-year-old female patient who presented left homonymous hemianopia secondary to a right occipital lobe injury which was compressed by a dural thickening identified on brain MRI. Etiological investigations revealed suspicious breast lesions on chest CT scan. Anatomopathological examination of these lesions was consistent with luminal breast cancer. The diagnosis of IPM following breast cancer was confirmed, and the patient underwent chemotherapy treatment.
