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

introductionAdenomyoepithelioma of the breast is a rare benign breast neoplasm with a particular behaviour. PRESENTATION OF CASES: We report two cases of adenomyoepithelioma of the breast in two old female patients, diagnosed over a period of 5 years. The clinical presentation, the radiological and the histopathologic findings are discussed. DISCUSSION: Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast is characterized by the proliferation of both epithelial and myoepithelial cells belonging to the breast lobules and ducts. The imaging features are not pathognomonic and FNAB is usually not diagnostic. The morphologic appearance of this tumor varies, and it has to be considered in the differential diagnosis with other breast tumors. Although benign, adenomyoepithelioma has a potential for local recurrence, and malignant transformation is possible; therefore, wide excision is recommended to lower the recurrence rate.

conclusionThe rarity of this histological type and the finding of two cases in a relatively short period makes this case report unique.
