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

Cutaneous apocrine carcinoma (CAC) is an extremely rare skin appendage malignant tumor that develops in the apocrine sweat glands, and no evidence-based drug therapy has been established. A 61-year-old female patient was diagnosed with axillary CAC with axillary lymph node metastasis and underwent surgery. Pathological examination revealed seven lymph node metastases. Immunostaining revealed that the tumor cells were estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, progesterone receptor (PgR)-positive, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive. The patient received chemotherapy, including anti-HER2 drugs, and hormone therapy to prevent recurrence. No recurrence was observed for > 3 years after surgery. The apocrine glands in the skin and mammary glands have similar characteristics and mammary glands are thought to be modified or derived from the apocrine glands present in the subcutaneous adipose tissue. Therefore, ER, PgR, and HER2 levels may be positive in CAC. Drug treatments for breast cancer may also be effective for CAC.
