Bilateral mammary hibernoma mimicking breast carcinoma: a diagnostic challenge.

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
We describe a 68-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with a history of rapidly enlarging lumps in both breasts. Though the breast lumps appeared suspicious on ultrasonography, the core biopsy was reported to be benign. In view of the clinical and radiological suspicion of malignancy, she underwent a diagnostic excision of both the lumps, the histopathology was consistent with mammary hibernoma. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a bilateral mammary hibernoma in an elderly postmenopausal woman. Given the clinical presentation, it is important to differentiate mammary hibernoma from carcinoma breast, which is a more common condition in this age group. However, preoperative diagnosis is challenging in view of the lack of definitive radiological and histological features. Although benign, hibernoma may have a propensity for local recurrence and, therefore, complete surgical excision remains the mainstay of treatment.
