Occult breast cancer in an older woman: A case report.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2025. 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
Occult breast cancer (OBC) is a relatively rare clinical condition that can complicate differential diagnosis efforts and delay the administration of specific treatments. The individualized therapy of patients with OBC should be performed based on their clinical symptoms, imaging findings and pathological diagnosis. The present case study describes a 51-year-old woman with a painless left axillary tumor. The axillary lymph nodes of the patient were affected by invasive ductal carcinoma, as determined by histological analysis. However, the primary lesion was missed by numerous testing. The patient underwent surgery and testing for positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT). The present study comprehensively examined this case and offered a systematic analysis of the relevant scholarly works on the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of OBC. Ultrasonography revealed the presence of three homogenous hypoechoic masses with irregular margins in the left axilla of the patient. PET/CT scanning identified multiple enlarged left axillary hypermetabolic lymph nodes. After that, the patient underwent a nipple-sparing mastectomy and an axillary lymphadenectomy. With the lymph nodes showing metastatic, infiltrating ductal carcinoma from the breast, ductal carcinoma
