Use of fiberoductoscopy for the management of patients with pathological nipple discharge: experience of a single center in Poland.
Article in Breast cancer (Tokyo, Japan), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundPathological nipple discharge (PND) is associated with serious clinical and diagnostic issues. Fiberoductoscopy (FDS) is a new diagnostic option in PND patients. This study summarizes our initial experience of FDS for the management of PND patients in a single center in Poland and assesses its safety.
methodsA total of 256 women with PND were included in this prospective, case-controlled, single-center study between 2006 and 2014. Of the 250 patients who underwent FDS, 154 had mammary duct lesions and 96 had no visible lesions. Subsequently, 129 patients with lesions identified by FDS underwent microductectomy and the lesions were pathologically evaluated.
resultsThe mean duration of FDS examination was 17 min. The most frequent intraductal lesion was amputation of a duct (35.1%), followed by circular narrowing or hyperplasia (22.7%). Final histological findings were unremarkable in 11.6% of cases, whereas mammary duct papilloma, duct ectasia, and ductal carcinoma in situ were detected in 71.3, 10.9, and 6.2% of cases, respectively.
conclusionsFDS is an innovative method for visualizing intraductal mammary lesions and allows accurate selection of mammary ducts with suspicious lesions that require surgical removal in women with PND.
