Diabetic mastopathy in an elderly woman misdiagnosed as breast cancer: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundDiabetic mastopathy is a rare benign disease in clinical practice that mainly occurs in young and middle-aged women with type 1 diabetes. It has also been reported that this disease can be found in patients with type 2 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis, as well as in men. The pathogenesis of diabetic mastopathy is not yet clear, and it is easily confused with breast cancer due to their similar clinical manifestations and imaging features. CASE SUMMARY: A 69-year-old female patient was admitted because of painless breast masses, with a history of type 2 diabetes. The imaging and physical examination suggested a high risk of breast cancer. Further histopathological analysis showed dense lymphocytes infiltrating around the lobules of the breast, and extensive fibrosis of the surrounding stroma. Finally, diabetic mastopathy was diagnosed.
conclusionThe diagnosis of diabetic mastopathy in elderly patients with painless breast masses is difficult to distinguish from breast cancer, and its imaging manifestations are not specific.
