Male breast cancer: an 11 year review of 66 patients.
Article in Breast cancer research and treatment, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A review was conducted of 66 men with carcinoma of the breast seen at this institution between 1981 and 1992. The results of the study suggest that there are many similarities between breast cancer in men and women. The most common clinical presentation was a lump in the breast. The majority of tumors were T1 or T2, and infiltrating ductal carcinoma was the predominant histological type. Axillary nodal status and histological grade were predictive of survival. The pattern of recurrence and survival rates were similar to those seen in women. Some differences, however, were evident. Tumors were centrally located in the majority of patients and there was a high frequency of nipple involvement. The hormone receptor positivity rate was high and the median age at presentation was older. In comparison to a previous report of the same disease from this institution 10 years ago, fewer patients underwent radical surgical procedures and more patients received adjuvant systemic therapy. These approaches are justified since there are many biological similarities between breast cancer in men and women.
