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
Mammary fibromatosis is a rare neoplastic proliferation of fibroblastic cells. Usually seen in abdominal and extra-abdominal sites, it is rarely seen in the breast. Patients with mammary fibromatosis usually present with a firm palpable mass with or without dimpling and skin retraction-often mimicking breast carcinoma. Here, we present a case of mammary fibromatosis in a 49-year-old woman who presented with a palpable lump in her right breast. Mammography tomosynthesis revealed architectural distortion which was seen on ultrasonography as a hypoechoic area. The patient underwent a wire-guided excision where the histology of this specimen showed irregular spindle cell proliferation with hemosiderin deposition, confirming mammary fibromatosis. Further re-excision of margins revealed no evidence of residual fibromatosis, and the patient underwent subsequent surveillance mammograms to ensure there was no recurrence.
