Incidental Finding of Breast Tumor After Scoliosis Surgery: A Case Report.
Article in International journal of spine surgery, 2024. 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
introductionBreast asymmetry (BA) is a common condition in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Physicians may misdiagnose a patient with a unilateral breast tumor as a normal condition related to scoliosis. The present report describes the case of a patient with a breast tumor that was detected incidentally after surgical correction of scoliosis. PATIENT PRESENTATION AND OUTCOMES: A 21-year-old woman was diagnosed as having AIS and reported to our institute for management. Thoracic third to lumbar second vertebra instrumented spine de-rotation and associated fusion surgery were performed to correct the deformity. After the operation, enlargement of left breast volume and obvious BA were noted. Breast sonography was performed, and a large tumor was found. Finally, the biopsy revealed a fibroadenoma of the left breast.
conclusionsIn managing patients with scoliosis and BA, comprehensive consideration of other possible etiologies is crucial to prevent misdiagnosis. This article reminds physicians that breast tumors can be concealed by BA related to AIS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 5:
