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

Metastatic breast cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality among women. Common metastatic sites include the lung, liver, bone, lymph nodes, and brain, with distant metastases occurring more frequently than local or regional recurrences. This case series aims to highlight and raise awareness of rare metastatic sites of breast cancer, thereby promoting early detection and guiding optimal management, which may improve patient survival. Four patients were identified with metastases to rare anatomical sites: the parotid gland, thyroid, stomach, and colon. All cases were confirmed by immunohistochemistry, with tumor cells positive for CK7 and GATA-3, consistent with breast origin.
