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

We present a case of a 28-year-old woman who came to medical attention after noticing a breast mass associated with an overlying eroded plaque of the skin. A core biopsy of the breast mass was negative for malignancy but demonstrated granulomatous inflammatory changes. Acid-fast bacilli and Gomori methenamine-silver stains were negative for microorganisms. The patient was diagnosed with presumptive idiopathic granulomatous mastitis and started on oral steroids. Her symptoms progressed. Tissue culture from a repeat biopsy grew
