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 typically metastasizes to the lymph nodes, lungs, bones, and liver. However, gastrointestinal (GI) involvement is exceedingly rare, particularly presenting as duodenal ulcers. Such metastases often mimic primary GI malignancies, leading to nonspecific symptoms like abdominal pain, anorexia, bleeding, and vomiting, which can delay accurate diagnosis. Early recognition through appropriate diagnostic evaluations is crucial to prevent disease progression. We report a unique case of an 86-year-old woman with multiple comorbidities who presented with multiple gastrointestinal ulcers. Further investigation revealed these lesions to be manifestations of metastatic breast cancer. This case underscores the importance of considering metastatic breast cancer in the differential diagnosis of atypical gastrointestinal presentations, even in elderly patients without a known history of malignancy.
