Topical Steroids Are Effective in the Treatment of Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 3 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 31 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
backgroundIdiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare, benign, and chronic disease of the breast. Despite the various treatment approaches described for this disease, a gold standard treatment modality has not yet been defined. In this study, the effect of topical steroids was reviewed and assessed in patients with IGM.
methodsThe records of patients with IGM who were treated only with topical steroids were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were grouped as "completely healed," "inadequately healed," "stable," "worsened," or "recurred" if they had once healed but their symptoms returned. Patients whose skin changes were completely ameliorated were considered "completely healed."
resultsAll of the patients were women, and the average patient age was 35.7 years (range 24-48 years). During the average follow-up of 37.2 months (range 12-72 months) in patients who received only topical steroid treatment, recurrence was observed in three patients (3/28, 10.7 %), and no side effects or steroid-related complications occurred.
conclusionsTopical steroids seem to be effective in the treatment of IGM characterized by skin changes. Prospective clinical studies would be useful in determining the clinical efficacy of topical steroids in the treatment of IGM.
