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 cancer can spread to the brain and bone, usually presenting as parenchymal and osteoblastic lesions, respectively. We present a unique case of a 59-year-old woman undergoing treatment for invasive lobular breast cancer who presented with nausea, vomiting, headache, and generalized weakness. Her clinical presentation and subsequent evaluation led to a discovery of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis and myelophthisic anemia presenting simultaneously as her initial metastases. She was treated with weekly paclitaxel and intrathecal methotrexate, with noted cerebrospinal fluid response. She continues to follow up with the oncology clinic.
