Wegener's granulomatosis of the breast.
Article in Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Wegener's granulomatosis is a multisystem disorder characterized by necrotizing granulomatous inflammation and vasculitis of small vessels and can affect any organ system. The most common sites of involvement are upper and lower respiratory tracts, and kidneys. Breast involvement is unusual and very rare. We report a case of breast Wegener's granulomatosis in a 32-year-old woman who presented with pulmonary lesions and palpable masses in the left breast. Mammography showed multiple, sharply delineated nodules without microcalcifications. Ultrasonography revealed multiple hypoechoic solid lesions, some of them with anechoic areas of necrosis. Computed tomography showed multiple nodules. Histopathology of excision biopsy specimens of breast lesions revealed necrotizing granulomatous material consistent with Wegener's granulomatosis. Twenty reports of breast involvement in this rare disease were found in the literature; however, the respective ultrasonographic and computed tomography findings have not hitherto been described.
