Intradural Extramedullary Spinal Cord Metastasis of Breast Cancer in a Male: A Case Report.

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.
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
introductionBreast cancer in males is rare, accounting for just 0.5% to 1% according to World Health Organization data. This is the first reported case of IESCM from breast cancer in an African male, which makes it noteworthy. Furthermore, unlike previously reported cases in females, this case involved L1-L2 metastasis with sphincter dysfunction and a subsequent relapse leading to mortality, thereby expanding the documented spectrum of IESCM presentations and outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION: This is a case of a 77-year-old male with invasive ductal carcinoma of the left breast and intradural extramedullary spinal cord metastasis diagnosed via Magnetic Resonance Imaging after presenting with neurological symptoms 4 years post-mastectomy. He eventually passed away following a right Deep Venous Thrombosis, which led to bilateral pulmonary embolism after his second relapse.
conclusionLate presentation most likely contributed to the worsening of symptoms and poor prognosis. This report overstates the importance of prompt access to healthcare and the essence of thorough investigations, especially in breast cancer, where neurological symptoms may point to a metastatic diagnosis.
