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

Carney complex is a rare autosomal dominant familiar multiple neoplasia syndrome combined with cardiocutaneous manifestations. Our report describes a Carney complex case with bilateral myxoid fibroadenomas that led to a bilateral mastectomy. An 18-year-old female patient presented at our clinic with complaints of multiple palpable lumps in her breasts bilaterally. On physical examination the patient had also multiple pigmented lentiginous lesions on her face, body and her sclerae, blue nevi on her trunk and upper extremities and a round moon-shaped face. The diagnosis of Carney syndrome was decided upon imaging, biopsies and genetic analysis. The patient underwent a bilateral mastectomy as a prophylactic treatment plan with tissue expanders' placement. Breast myxomatosis due to Carney complex is a common characteristic in female patients. Prophylactic mastectomy must be considered as a therapeutic intervention in these cases since it provides a definite treatment, with minimal side effects and excellent outcomes.
