Diagnostic Utility of Laparoscopy in Breast Cancer-Associated Carcinomatous Peritonitis With Suspected Advanced Ovarian Cancer.

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
Carcinomatous peritonitis (CP) secondary to breast cancer is an uncommon metastatic manifestation that presents considerable diagnostic challenges, particularly when the primary lesion is not detectable through imaging modalities. This report examines the case of a 54-year-old female patient who presented with abdominal pain and constipation. Initial preoperative imaging and tumor marker analysis suggested gynecological malignancy, with a strong suspicion of ovarian cancer; however, no definitive primary tumors were identified. Subsequent diagnostic laparoscopy revealed peritoneal dissemination, and histopathological examination confirmed metastatic breast cancer via immunohistochemical staining. This case highlights the essential role of laparoscopy in obtaining a pathological diagnosis even when gynecological cancer is suspected. Laparoscopy is a minimally invasive and highly effective diagnostic tool for CP, even in cases where the primary breast lesion remains undetected. Early consideration of breast cancer in differential diagnosis may facilitate timely and accurate diagnosis, thereby enabling appropriate management of the condition.
