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

Breast cancer metastasis to the ureter has been rarely reported and is typically diagnosed by autopsy or radiographically rather than by pathological inspection. We present the rare case of a 60-year-old female in which computed tomography urography imaging during nephrolithiasis revealed an incidental ureteral mass. Pathology workup following mass biopsy was estrogen receptor positive, progesterone receptor negative, and HER2 negative. The patient was ultimately diagnosed with metastatic lobular carcinoma of breast origin based on pathology from the axillary lymph node tissue. This case adds to the body of literature of a rare presentation of ureteral involvement from primary breast cancer.
