1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 Myeloid sarcoma is a rarely observed extramedullary presentation of myeloid leukemia that seldom manifests in the breast. Myeloid sarcoma can occur before, concurrently with, or following acute myeloid leukemia presentation. Few reports have focused on the imaging findings in cases of myeloid sarcoma of the breast, and the existing findings are variable and nonspecific; the present case report aimed to bridge this gap. CASE REPORT A 24-year-old female presented with a palpable lump at the upper outer quadrant of her right breast. She had noticed the mass 2 days prior to presentation. She was first diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia 18 months before the lump presentation and had undergone haploidentical stem cell transplantation 6 months prior. At the time of the breast lump presentation, she was undergoing chemotherapy for relapsed acute myeloid leukemia. Ultrasonography of her right breast revealed a circumscribed, oval mass corresponding to the palpable lump. Ultrasonography-guided 14-gauge core needle biopsy was performed on the breast mass, leading to a pathological diagnosis of myeloid sarcoma. CONCLUSIONS We reported a case of myeloid sarcoma involving the breast. On sonography, although the internal echotexture resembled that of breast hamartoma, the observed hard elasticity and high vascularity raised suspicions of malignancy.
