Dirofilariasis of Breast Mimicking Malignancy - A Rare Entity.
Article in Journal of mid-life health. 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
Human dirofilarial infection usually presents as pulmonary coin lesion or as subcutaneous nodule. We report the case of a 60-year-old female presented clinically with swelling in the lower-outer quadrant of the right breast for 2 weeks. Ultrasound reported as atypical lesion suggest fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) correlation and follow-up. Clinical examination - subcutaneous nodule of size 2 cm × 2 cm presents in the lower-outer quadrant. Clinical suspicious of carcinoma was considered and FNAC was done. Aspirated pus-like material and adult worm about 4 cm in length were attached to the needle. Smear was air-dried and stained with Giemsa. Smears were cellular and showed numerous neutrophils, eosinophils, and a few histiocytes in a necrotic background and also noted coiled adult dirofilarial worm. Cellblock was prepared and it showed the cut section of dirofilarial worm with cuticle, muscular layer, intestine, and reproductive tube. We report this case entity due to diagnostic confusion with breast malignancy clinically and radiologically.
