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

Thanatosomes (hyaline globules or death bodies) are histologically observed in various non-neoplastic and neoplastic conditions. Some of these globules are associated with apoptotic cell death. Only six documented cases of thanatosomes have been reported in breast tumors. In this rare case involving a 64-year-old Japanese woman diagnosed as having rectal cancer, preoperative computed tomography scanning revealed breast cancer in her right breast. Following a right total mastectomy, a tumor characterized as apocrine carcinoma (carcinoma with apocrine differentiation) containing thanatosomes was discovered. These globules are PAS positive and diastase resistant, exhibit deep fuchsinophilic staining with Masson's trichrome, stain dark blue with PTAH, and are negative for mucin by Alcian blue. The tumor cells tested positive for the androgen receptor, FOXA1, and GCDFP15. Human epidermal growth factor type 2 (HER2)/
