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

The clinical progression of metastatic breast cancer may be indicated by dermatologic manifestations of the internal malignancy. Although uncommon, underlying malignancies can metastasize to the scalp and resemble various common dermatological lesions. We report the case of a 62-year-old female patient with a history of mammary ductal carcinoma who presented with a metastatic papule on the posterior mid-parietal scalp. Given that the cutaneous expression of internal malignancies is rare, it is imperative for dermatologists to conduct comprehensive patient histories and engage in multidisciplinary collaboration to optimize treatment strategies and improve patient prognosis.
