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 metastases from cancers of extra-mammary origin are rare. Their frequency is estimated at 0.4 to 6% of all malignant breast tumors. There have been only a few published cases of mammary metastases from bronchopulmonary cancers. Lung cancer metastasis to the breast is an extremely rare clinical presentation, with an incidence of just 0.2-1.3%. To the best of our knowledge, our case represents the first one described in North Africa. Clinicians should take into account the potential diagnosis of metastatic lung cancer when discovering a breast nodule in patients of lung cancer.
