Desmoid-type fibromatosis of the breast: A report of 2 cases.
Article in Oncology letters, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Mammary fibromatosis is a rare and locally aggressive benign tumor of the breast; it originates from fibroblasts and myofibroblasts within the breast parenchyma and does not metastasize. The condition is locally aggressive and has a high rate of recurrence. The etiology of mammary fibromatosis is unknown. Breast imaging examinations are not specific for fibromatosis and often imitate breast cancer. The current study presents 2 cases of women with breast fibromatosis, the first of which exhibited a locally advanced aggressive form of the disease, where breast surgery and en bloc resection of the underlying regions of the thoracic wall were required. In the second case, breast imaging examinations suggested an invasive breast tumor, probably carcinoma, infiltrating the muscles of the chest wall. An ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy revealed a low-grade myofibroblastic proliferation consistent with breast fibromatosis. The patient underwent a right quadrantectomy, with a partial resection of the underlying musculature. The patients remain disease-free at the time of writing. As involvement of the breast in patients with desmoid-like fibromatosis as rare, the present study reports 2 cases with clinical features and histological findings in order to improve and add to the knowledge of this disease.
