Rare metastasis of renal cell carcinoma to the breast: a case report.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Renal cell carcinoma is an aggressive urological malignancy, accounting for 2%-3% of adult cancers and over 90% of renal cancers. While renal cell carcinoma commonly metastasizes to organs such as the lungs, bones, and liver, breast metastasis is rare, comprising only 0.5% to 2% of all breast neoplasms. This case report describes a 54-year-old female with a history of RCC who developed a metastatic lesion in her breast six years after radical nephrectomy. The lesion, initially detected via routine imaging, was confirmed as renal cell carcinoma through histopathology and immunohistochemistry. A wide local excision was performed, avoiding unnecessary axillary surgery. This case highlights the need for meticulous diagnostic evaluation to distinguish between primary breast carcinoma and metastatic disease, particularly in patients with a history of renal cell carcinoma. The rarity of renal cell carcinoma metastasis to the breast calls for further research to guide appropriate management.
