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

High-grade adenosquamous carcinoma (HGASC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of metaplastic breast cancer (MpBC). This article reports a case of HGASC (pT2N0M0 Stage IIA) in a 43-year-old female and reviews the relevant literature, with a specific focus on distinguishing HGASC from other MpBC subtypes, particularly low-grade adenosquamous carcinoma (LGASC). The patient underwent a skin-sparing mastectomy with abdominal rectus myocutaneous flap reconstruction. Histopathology confirmed HGASC with metaplastic features. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with capecitabine was administered. The case highlights the unique clinical, imaging, and pathological characteristics of HGASC, its therapeutic challenges, and the need for individualized treatment strategies. A five-month follow-up showed no signs of recurrence or metastasis.
