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

backgroundNodular Fasciitis is a benign fibroblastic proliferation in soft tissues, which mostly occurs in the upper extremities, trunk, head and neck region. It is rarely reported to occur in the breast. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we present sonograms of nodular fasciitis in the breast at different durations in three cases. In Case 1, we provided the longest follow-up time in all literatures. In Case 2 and Case 3, we provided the automated breast ultrasound finding of breast nodular fasciitis for the first time.

conclusionNodular Fasciitis shows clinical features and ultrasonography findings are similar to those of breast cancer. For superficially located breast lesions with a single and rapid growth, nodular fasciitis may be considered in the differential diagnosis of benign entities resembling malignant tumors on breast imaging.
