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

Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast is a rare type of breast cancer. Most patients present with a bilateral palpable mass. Ultrasound and mammography are non-specific and can sometimes lead to misdiagnosis because of their variable imaging features. Pathological examination is the standard reference. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for patients. Although adenoid cystic carcinoma has an excellent prognosis, metastatic cases have been reported. This report aims to discuss the clinical and imaging features of one case of adenoid cystic carcinoma with a poor prognosis and four cases with a good prognosis at our center.
