Granulomatous mastitis: An underdiagnosed inflammatory disease afflicting minority women.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is an underdiagnosed and understudied benign inflammatory disease of the breast whose accurate diagnosis is confounded by mimicry of other breast pathologies (infectious mastitis and abscess, malignancy) and limited clinician knowledge of the disease. GM disproportionately affects minority women, furthering health disparities for a demographic already disadvantaged in the care of breast diseases. The first step in diagnosis is ultrasound followed by core needle biopsy yielding granulomatous inflammation. To far lesser degree, mammography, and MRI may play a role in narrowing the differential. A high index of clinical suspicion and multidisciplinary approach is required. The presence of Corynebacterium kroppensteddti may indicate one subtype of granulomatous mastitis called cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis; disease stratification, and individualized therapy are on the horizon.
