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 is the most common malignancy among women, whereas gastrointestinal metastasis is uncommon and gastric involvement is particularly rare. We report a 59-year-old woman who presented with epigastric discomfort and dysphagia 10 years after surgery and postoperative chemotherapy for right breast cancer. Gastroscopy and histopathological examination with immunohistochemistry confirmed hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative metastatic breast carcinoma involving the stomach, and staging evaluation also revealed multiple bone metastases. Because the clinical manifestations closely mimicked primary gastric cancer, the diagnosis was challenging and required careful clinicopathological correlation. This case highlights the importance of considering late gastrointestinal metastasis in long-term breast cancer survivors and underscores the critical role of endoscopic biopsy, immunohistochemistry, and multidisciplinary evaluation in establishing an accurate diagnosis. Treatment with a CDK4/6 inhibitor combined with an aromatase inhibitor resulted in rapid symptom relief and short-term disease stabilization.
