Carcinomas of the breast with endocrine differentiation: a review.
Review in Virchows Archiv : an international journal of pathology, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
The occurrence of endocrine differentiation in some mammary carcinomas seems well-established, but pathologists continue to debate its significance. Contemporary thinking suggests that endocrine tumours of the breast do not constitute a single clinicopathological entity with a consistent histogenesis but rather that endocrine differentiation represents a pathway of neoplastic development available to a range of breast cancers. This pattern of differentiation occurs in tumours with vastly different morphological appearances, such as: ductal carcinoma in situ, mucinous carcinoma, a variant of lobular carcinoma, and low grade invasive ductal carcinoma. Although such tumours share some characteristics with intestinal endocrine neoplasms, the typical pattern of intestinal carcinoid virtually never occurs in mammary lesions. Conventional microscopy permits the diagnosis in most cases. Specialized techniques (histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, and electron microscopy) can serve as the basis for diagnosis in the absence of the appropriate morphological features. Although the system of nomenclature proposed by the World Health Organization for use with endocrine tumours in other organs can be used for endocrine tumours of the breast, only a minority of lesions will fit the established criteria. Most lesions are classifiable in the conventional categories of mammary carcinomas. No special prognostic significance is attached to these tumours at the present time.
