Granulomatous mastitis (GM) in a young woman with a previous history of prolactin-secreting PitNET and actual normal prolactinemia.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare inflammatory condition of the breast. IGM is a benign condition, and is more typical in women of child-bearing age, with a recent history of pregnancy and breast feeding. Its clinical presentation can mimic inflammatory breast cancer or breast abscess. The etiology of IGM is not well defined, but proposed to be a localized immune reaction to the breast tissue without the presence of an underlying infectious condition. Here we report a case of a healthy 35-year-old female, with no story of pregnancy and lactation, who presented with sudden left breast lump, swelling and pain. She underwent first diagnostic ultrasound of the affected breast, then breast MR imaging was performed. A biopsy of the lesion was obtained, which revealed chronic granulomatous inflammation, confirming the diagnosis of GM. Furthermore, the patient was found to have had hyperprolactinemia secondary to a prolactinoma of the pituitary gland (PitNET) many years before, during her 20s, for which she had been treated with surgery.
