Recurrent borderline phyllodes tumor in nipple: a rare case report and review of the literature.
Article in Gland surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Phyllodes tumor (PT) of the breast is a rare tumor. They are usually located in the four quadrants of the mammary gland and may also appear below the nipple. Although there have been a number of cases reported, here we report a very rare case of this tumor in an unusual location. The patient has been diagnosed with right breast borderline PT, who accepted breast-conserving surgery. Twelve months after surgery we found right nipple enlargement, without nipple discharge, ipsilateral and contralateral breast without palpable mass. Interestingly, ultrasound showed a lesion in the right nipple: a hypoechoic mass with a diameter of 2.0 cm was seen in the nipple, with no significant calcification. The patient underwent nipple-sparing mastectomy without postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated a borderline PT. There were no signs of recurrence after two years of follow-up. We consider that wide surgical resection and negative margin are still the main methods for the treatment of recurrent borderline PTs.
