Covert Breast Cancer Metastasis to the Gastrointestinal Tract: Is Extra Vigilance Needed?
Article in ACG case reports journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Breast cancer (BC) is a common cancer in females. Spread to the gastrointestinal tract is rare. This is a 61-year-old woman with history of T2N0M0 lobular BC treated 5 years earlier. She underwent endoscopic evaluation for new-onset anemia and was found to have multiple gastric ulcers, a normal-appearing duodenum, and subtle colonic nodules. Targeted and random biopsies of abnormal and normal findings, respectively, showed adenocarcinoma with diffuse immunohistochemical staining compatible with her BC history. This highlights the importance of maintaining a high suspicion index in patients with lobular BC and the utility of random biopsies in such cases.
