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

The prognosis of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) with hepatic metastasis is generally poor. Here, we report the case of a 70-year-old woman with TNBC whose hepatic metastasis did not recur for more than three years after radiofrequency ablation (RFA). During this period, the patient received chemotherapies with relatively mild side effects, such as eribulin mesylate and gemcitabine, maintaining a good quality of life. Although PARP inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors are now available for TNBC, many cases are not eligible for these treatments due to the absence of specific target molecules. RFA may be a useful option in selected cases of hepatic metastasis from TNBC.
