Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and sequential CT findings of metaplastic breast carcinoma in neurofibromatosis type 1: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Metaplastic breast carcinoma in neurofibromatosis type 1 is extremely rare. There are few reports about dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI findings and sequential CT findings of metaplastic breast carcinoma in neurofibromatosis type 1. Herein, we report imaging findings, including dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI and sequential CT, of metaplastic breast carcinoma in an 82-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis type 1. Short tau inversion recovery image revealed an oval mass with a circumscribed margin that exhibited moderate intensity with partially hyperintense area inside, and T1-weighted imaging revealed a spotty hyperintense area. The solid component of the mass showed heterogeneous enhancement and the time-intensity curve had a fast/washout pattern with restricted diffusion. In addition, multiple neurofibromas were observed. Sequential CT revealed that the diameter of the mass doubled in 3 months without apparent lymph node metastasis. Because detection of metaplastic breast carcinoma in neurofibromatosis type 1 tends to be delayed due to multiple neurofibromas, characteristic MRI findings suggestive of metaplastic breast carcinoma and sequential CT findings are important for early treatment of metaplastic breast carcinoma in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1.
