Emergency total gastrectomy for gastric perforation secondary to metastatic lobular breast cancer: a case for aggressive surgical intervention in select patients.
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
Breast cancer remains a predominant contributor to cancer-related morbidity and mortality among women worldwide. Invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), the second most prevalent histological subtype, exhibits a distinctive propensity for diffuse infiltration and distant metastases, including rare involvement of the gastrointestinal tract. We describe a case of acute gastric perforation secondary to metastatic ILC in a 67-year-old woman with recurrent Luminal A disease. Her prior treatment included wide local excision, adjuvant chemoradiotherapy, and salvage mastectomy. Emergent imaging revealed gastric perforation with diffuse intraperitoneal fluid. Following multidisciplinary discussion and in accordance with the patient's wishes, an R1 total gastrectomy was performed with palliative intent. The patient recovered well, despite a minor duodenal stump leak managed conservatively. She was subsequently discharged for ongoing oncological management. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of emergency total gastrectomy for ILC-related gastric perforation, highlighting the potential role of aggressive surgical intervention in select individualized metastatic presentations.
