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

rationaleMammary hamartoma is a rare benign breast tumor, composed of ducts, lobules, fibers, and adipose tissue. We describe a mammary hamartoma in a man; this is the fourth case being reported in the literature. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 30-year-old man presented with a 1-month history of a painless mass in his right breast. DIAGNOSIS: Ultrasound imaging and mammography revealed a lesion, approximately 2.0 cm × 2.0 cm in size, in the right breast, which was considered to be either a lipomyoma or an adenoma fibrosum.

interventionsThe mass was surgically resected. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of mammary hamartoma. OUTCOMES: The patient was discharged from the hospital after surgery. There was no sign of reoccurrence during a 1-year follow-up period. LESSONS: At present, mammary hamartoma is considered to be a benign lesion, usually treated by surgical resection. Some reports have suggested a possible association between a hamartoma and the development of breast malignancy. The pathology and biology of an association between a mammary hamartoma and malignancy have not been defined to date.
