MRI background parenchymal enhancement, breast density and serum hormones in postmenopausal women.
Article in International journal of cancer, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
Background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) is the degree to which normal breast tissue enhances on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI-density is a volumetric measure of breast density that is highly correlated with mammographic density, an established breast cancer risk factor. Endogenous estrogen concentrations are positively associated with postmenopausal breast cancer risk and BPE has been shown to be sensitive to hormonal exposures. The objective of our study was to examine the relationship between BPE and MRI-density and serum hormone concentrations in postmenopausal women. This was a study of cancer-free postmenopausal women undergoing contrast-enhanced breast MRI (N = 118). At the time of MRI all women completed a self-administered questionnaire and blood samples were collected for hormone analyses. Serum concentrations of estrone (E1), estradiol (E2) and bioavailable E2 were examined by category of BPE and MRI-density. Compared to women with "minimal" BPE, those who had "marked" BPE had significantly higher serum concentrations of E1, E2 and bioavailable E2 (90% increase, p
