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

Pilomatrixoma is a rare benign skin adnexal tumor arising from the hair follicles. Its occurrence in the male breast is extremely uncommon with very few cases reported worldwide. Pilomatrixoma may masquerade as a malignant tumor due to the presence of foci of calcification. We present a case of a 51-year-old man with a six-month history of a firm-to-hard mass in his right breast. The mammographic and sonographic features were suggestive of skin-related lesions. The lesion was excised. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of pilomatrixoma.
