Immunoglobulin G4-Related Mastitis: An Unusual Case of Recurrent Breast Abscess.
Article in Archives of rheumatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Immunoglobulin G4-related mastitis (IgG4-RM) is an uncommon entity in clinical practice which has an evolving spectrum of manifestations and presently is of high clinical interest among rheumatologists. Since its closest differential remains breast carcinoma, the importance of describing this entity is in the fact that early diagnosis, awareness and timely management can save the patient from unnecessary surgical intervention and its complications. Tumefactive lesions are considered hallmark of this disease, but rarely abscess may also be the presenting feature. In this article, we describe a 24-year-old female patient of a very unusual case of IgG4-RM presenting as recurrent breast abscess, its successful management and discussion about novel treatment strategies.
