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

purposeBreast cancer is the most prevalent cancer type in Mexico, with male breast cancer accounting for only 1% of all breast cancer cases. A limited number of studies have described the clinical-pathological profiles of males with breast cancer in low- and middle-income countries. This study presents an analysis of patients with breast cancer seen at three different institutions in México.

methodsA retrospective review of the medical records was performed to analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics of 49 men diagnosed with breast cancer and their overall survival.

resultsThe mean age at diagnosis was 64.65 years. A significant proportion of patients presented at diagnosis with stage IV disease (n = 11, 22.45%), had triple-negative subtype (n = 6, 12.24%), and nuclear grade III (n = 20, 40.8%). Primary endocrine resistance was observed in 10 patients (31.25%). Genetic analysis was performed on 24 patients (48.9%), revealing a germline BRCA pathogenic variant in 8.33%.

conclusionOur findings described the clinical and pathological profile of breast cancer in a male cohort in Mexico, with a significantly high proportion of advanced disease, triple-negative subtype, nuclear grade III, and endocrine resistance. Further comprehensive studies, including research into somatic mutations, are needed.
