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

T-cell lymphoma involvement of the breast is rare and represents a diagnostic challenge. Here, we present a case of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in a 20-year-old woman who presented in September 2023 with a history of bilateral breast enlargement associated with general weakness, weight loss, and a feeling of heat, which had lasted for about two months. She was examined clinically and found to have huge bilateral breast enlargement. A breast ultrasound (US) was performed and showed a diffuse abnormal heterogeneous parenchymal appearance of both breasts with multiple enlarged bilateral axillary lymph nodes. The patient was referred to the Military Cancer Center for breast core biopsy, which showed bilateral breast involvement by T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma. Subsequently, bone marrow examination revealed T-cell ALL. The patient was started on the augmented Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster protocol, achieved complete remission, and maintained it for two years after diagnosis. ALL in the breast is rare but should be considered especially in young patients presenting with sudden breast masses.
