Mucinous adenocarcinoma in the axilla of undetermined origin.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 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
Mucinous adenocarcinoma (MAC), accounts for ⁓1% of all cancer diagnoses. We present a case of a 75-year-old male who, after presenting for an elective inguinal hernia repair, disclosed concerns for a new lesion in his right axilla which was removed at the same time. Investigations revealed a MAC of unclear origin, with immunohistochemistry suggesting either a breast or primary cutaneous mucinous adenocarcinoma (PCMC). The patient was asymptomatic with an otherwise normal examination. Extensive investigations failed to identify any primary source. Axillary node clearance was performed, resulting in 0/9 positive nodes. After multi-disciplinary team discussion, this patient (who remains asymptomatic) will be kept under close clinical surveillance, with yearly computerized tomography scans. To our knowledge, minimal presentations have been reported in the literature. Thus, our case report is a unique addition of an atypical presentation of PCMC in the axilla.
