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

Metastasis remains the primary cause of mortality for patients with breast cancer. Breast cancer metastasis primarily occurs through direct infiltration, the lymphatic system and hematogenous spread, with the axillary lymph nodes being the most common metastatic sites, followed by the lungs, bones, liver and brain. However, metastasis to adipose tissue in malignant tumors is exceedingly rare. The present case report comprehensively describes the clinical diagnosis and treatment of a 54-year-old woman with a malignant tumor in the left breast that metastasized to the left axillary fat tissue. Furthermore, a discussion of relevant studies on fat metastasis in malignant tumors is presented.
