Primary Small Cell Cancer of the Breast: An Unusual Presentation.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Primary small cell carcinoma of the breast (PSCCB) is a rare but aggressive disease with multiple treatment options available, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. We report a case of a 51-year-old female patient who presented with a palpable left breast mass. An ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of the affected area revealed triple-negative small cell carcinoma of the left breast. The patient underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy, breast-conserving surgery with negative margins, and post-operative radiation therapy. One year later, the patient developed pathologic evidence of metastatic disease. Despite receiving three additional chemotherapeutic regimens and site-specific radiation treatments, the patient continued to have widespread metastatic disease. This case underscores the challenges of diagnosing and treating PSCCB and the urgent need for creating a standardized treatment protocol to improve patient outcomes.
