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

Nipple adenomas are rare benign tumors. The risk of carcinogenesis and the exact time of cancerization of nipple adenomas is unknown. We report a case of nipple adenoma in a 76-year-old Japanese woman. At the age of 52, she noticed erosion of her left nipple and was diagnosed with nipple adenoma by biopsy at a nearby hospital. A follow-up of the left nipple lesion was performed at the patient's request; however, she refused to undergo mammography and biopsy. The patient requested surgery for the left nipple lesion after 24 years of follow-up because of increasing bloody exudates from the nipple lesion. The preoperative radiological examination did not reveal malignancy in either breast, and a left nipple-areolar resection was performed. A nipple adenoma was identified by pathological diagnosis; however, no malignant findings were observed. The present case appears to have the longest follow-up period ever reported. This case is valuable because follow-up may be a clinical management option for nipple adenomas.
