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

Vascular lesions of the breast comprise a heterogeneous group that includes a variety of benign, atypical, and malignant lesions. These are a diagnostic challenge given variable clinical, radiological and pathological presentation, especially when they are small and asymptomatic. We present 2 cases of these rare lesions of the breast which were occult to mammographics and ultrasound studies. Both the lesions were detected only on magnetic resonance imaging, most helpful in the diagnosis of these rare tumor. Histopathological examinations following the magnetic resonance guided biopsies, were initially interpreted as negative for breast cancer in both cases. These turned out to be respectively a low grade angiosarcoma and a benign vascular lesion after a new histopathological examination following a larger magnetic resonance guided biopsies performed in light of the radiology-pathology discordance. Although rare, it is important to consider vascular tumours of the breast; radiologists need to be aware such tumors may present non-specific imaging features.
