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 remains a significant global health challenge, with lung metastasis presenting critical barriers to effective treatment and patient survival. This study conducts the first comprehensive bibliometric and visualized analysis of lung metastasis research in breast cancer from 2000 to 2024, illustrating evolving research trends and collaboration patterns in this critical area. Utilizing data from the Web of Science Core Collection, we employed bibliometric tools such as VOSviewer and CiteSpace to assess publication trends, international collaborations, influential institutions, authors, and keyword dynamics. Our findings reveal a steady increase in annual publications, peaking in 2021, with a significant concentration of research emerging from the USA and China, alongside key insights into molecular mechanisms such as epithelial-mesenchymal transition and immunotherapy. Notably, genes like ERBB2 and ESR1 were identified as pivotal in the metastatic process, highlighting potential therapeutic targets. This study not only illuminates the current landscape of breast cancer lung metastasis research but also underscores the necessity for interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance understanding and treatment strategies for this lethal condition.
