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 with gastric metastasis is extremely rare. Non-persistence with adjuvant endocrine therapy is associated with increased recurrence/metastasis risk in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer. A 33-year-old female was initially diagnosed with left breast cancer in July 2011, undergoing modified radical mastectomy, adjuvant chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and endocrine therapy (discontinued voluntarily after 1 year). In February 2025, she presented with low back pain and epigastric discomfort; examinations confirmed gastric and multiple bone metastases (ER+,PR+,HER2-). She received first-line endocrine therapy (letrozole+ribociclib+goserelin) combined with denosumab. Re-examination in September 2025 showed normal CEA, significantly decreased CA153, and no disease progression per RECIST 1.1. This case suggests that early endocrine therapy discontinuation may potentially contribute to late recurrence/metastasis. Breast cancer gastric metastasis diagnosis relies on medical history, gastroscopy, and immunohistochemistry (GATA3+, CK7+, CK20-). The combination regimen yielded favorable efficacy, providing clinical reference for similar rare cases.
