Prepubertal Idiopathic Unilateral Gynecomastia: Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Breast care (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Gynecomastia is a benign proliferation of the glandular tissue of the breast in males. Depending on the age, it can be considered a physiological condition. Prepubertal unilateral gynecomastia is a rare phenomenon. There are only a few case reports described through the last few years. Case Presentation: We report the clinical appearance and management of prepubertal idiopathic unilateral gynecomastia in a 9-year-old boy. We further include a literature review of 14 cases from 2011 to 2021. In contrast to pubertal gynecomastia, prepubertal gynecomastia and especially unilateral prepubertal gynecomastia are extremely rare conditions. Most cases remain idiopathic. Conclusion: Chromosomal and genetic testing, as well as oncological, endocrine diagnostic and tests for liver and kidney function should be performed. In case of idiopathic prepubertal gynecomastia, surgery is an important part of therapy since patients suffer from their atypical and rare phenotype.
