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 is a frequently diagnosed cancer in women, but the incidence of male breast cancer has also shown an increasing trend. Male and female breast cancers have some similarities, including risk factors and breast symptoms. Invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast cancer in both males and females. Even though fewer men than women are affected by breast cancer, male breast cancers are diagnosed at a more advanced stage and frequently have worse prognosis than their female counterparts. Through this case series, we are sharing a few unusual presentations of cancers in the male breast. In this case series of three patients, we will discuss the similarities and differences in male and female breast cancer. We aim to highlight the need to identify men at high risk and the importance of investigating any breast symptoms in men promptly.
