Traumatic neuroma at the mastectomy site, unusual benign lesion, mimicking tumor recurrence: A report of two cases.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Traumatic neuroma is not a true neoplasm but a reparative proliferation of axons, Schwann cells, and fibroblasts at the proximal end of transected or injured nerves resulting from trauma or surgery. Breast traumatic neuroma after breast surgery, with or without clinical symptoms, has rarely been reported. Once found, it should be differentiated from tumor recurrence, and tissue confirmation is necessary, although it is small in size and demonstrates a benign appearance in imaging studies. Herein, we present two cases of traumatic neuroma at the mastectomy site. They were incidentally encountered during ultrasound evaluation of mastectomy beds given concerns for potential recurrence or malignancy, and pathologic confirmation by ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy was sufficient for the diagnosis.
