A case of breast sparganosis: with an emphasis on ultrasonographic findings.

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
Sparganosis is a rare disease caused by the infestation of the plerocercoid tapeworm larva of the genus Spirometra. Human sparganosis is most commonly encountered in subcutaneous fat areas of the abdomen, limbs, and genitourinary tract. Breast sparganosis occur very rarely, accounting for less than 2% of total human sparganosis cases. Because of the disease's rarity, clinical suspicion is essential to reach the diagnosis of breast sparganosis. We present a case of mammary sparganosis in a 58 year-old woman on the ultrasonographic findings. The patient had a painless breast lump with a history of drinking impure water. On ultrasonography (US), we noted four masses, the largest lesion was suspected as sparganosis, and others tended to be benign lesions. The patient was treated following excisions by a US guided Vacuum-assisted breast biopsy system (VABB). The final diagnosis of all lesions was sparganosis.
