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

The purpose of this report is to determine the clinicopathological and immuno-phenotypical characteristics of myoid hamartoma of the breast (MHB). The clinical data, histological morphology, and immunohistochemical results of 2 patients diagnosed with MHB were analyzed, and 15 cases of MHB reported in China were reviewed. Both patients were female, aged 28 and 35 years old, and their lesions were located in the upper outer quadrant of the left breast and the right breast respectively. The lesions measured 3 cm × 3 cm × 2.5 cm and 6.5 cm × 6 cm × 4.5 cm. A gross examination indicated a grayish solid block with clear boundaries. A microscopic examination showed different proportions of ducts and acini, beam myoid cells, adipose tissue, and fibrous stroma. The myoid cell bundles of both specimens were positive for vimentin, SMA, h-caldesmon and desmin, but negative for ER, PR, PCK, s-100, Calponin, and P63. Both cases were confirmed as MHB based on their clinical, histological and immuno-phenotypical characteristics. Our findings provide further insights into the pathological basis of MHB, which can help avoid both misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
