Different Treatments for Granulomatous Lobular Mastitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in Breast care (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05361629 (The Effect of the Combination of Excision and Intraoperative Steroid Administration in Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis), which is not on this map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
objectiveGranulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM) is infrequently diagnosed. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of managements for GLM in the nonlactation period.
methodsPublications were retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library on September 10, 2018. We pooled and compared the outcome parameters and complete remission (CR) rates between different treatments using a meta-analysis.
resultsTwenty-one publications including 970 patients treated with surgical excision, steroids, abscess drainage, antibiotics, and observation were included. Surgery significantly improved CR rate compared with steroids (
conclusionsAlthough surgery was the ideal management for GLM, steroids and antibiotics might be ideal managements for GLM patients who are worried about surgical scars. Observation was an impressive alternative for patients with early GLM.
