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

Fibroadenoma with remarkable cystic change is very unusual. Opinions differ as to the interpretation of this lesion. Furthermore, there have been few reports focusing on its macroscopic view. We herein report a case of fibroadenoma in a 43-year-old woman. The patient presented herself to a medical doctor's office due to a rapidly growing breast tumor. Based on a core needle biopsy, a benign lesion was suspected, and the tumor was surgically resected. On a macroscopic study, the cut surface of the tumor revealed a remarkably cystic and well-circumscribed lesion with an intracystic polypoid component. Microscopically, a variety of findings of epithelial and stromal proliferation were observed. This is an interesting case not only because a fibroadenoma with prominent cystic change is unusual but also because the breast tumor showed a characteristically cystic appearance on its macroscopic view.
