The features of breast lymphoma on MRI.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo investigate the morphological features of breast lymphoma (BL) on MRI.
methodsMRI features of 20 patients with BL (12 primary and 8 secondary) were reviewed according to Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System categories.
results19 cases were unilateral and 1 was bilateral. According to the enhanced images, of the 20 cases, BL presented as a mass in 11 (55%), as an enhancement with no mass effect in 7 (35%) and as a mass and mixed enhancement with no mass effect in 2 (10%). There were 38 masses and 44 lesions with no mass effect in our study. All lesions showed mild heterogeneous internal enhancement. For lesions with mass effect, the margins were smooth in 32% (12/38) and irregular in 68% (26/38); and the shape was oval in 87% (32/38). Kinetic curve assessment (13 cases, 38 lesions) revealed that the average initial rise rate was 104%. The type II enhancement curve appeared in 55% (21/38) of lesions. No significant differences between the primary and secondary BL were observed for any of the MRI features.
conclusionBL mostly appeared oval with irregular margins showing mild heterogeneous internal enhancement and/or as enhanced lesions with no mass effect with mild heterogeneous internal enhancement. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Some special features on MRI are useful for the diagnosis of BL.
