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

Breast imaging screening during lactation poses a real clinical challenge, especially in high-risk patients. We presented the case of a 34-year-old BRCA1-mutated woman showing marked, asymmetric background parenchymal enhancement on the right breast suspicious for malignancy in the context of annual screening magnetic resonance imaging. The patient revealed that she was still occasionally breastfeeding her two-year-old child only from right side. Ultrasound evaluation reported typical benign lactational findings on the right enhancing breast. An in-depth understanding of expected/ physiologic breast changes during lactation and an accurate clinical-radiological correlation are required to appropriately guide patient management and avoid misdiagnosis.
