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

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is an uncommon, chronic inflammatory breast disease, mostly idiopathic. Occasionally, the causative organism is isolated. It is characterized histologically by polymorph nuclear neutrophils' predominance and the absence of caseous necrosis. Idiopathic GM could be associated with other general conditions like autoimmune disorders, diabetes mellitus, and sarcoidosis. We report a case of a 41-year-old woman who presented with a left breast abscess of two weeks duration and a three-year history of intermittent attacks of painful breast swelling, which required multiple and extended empirical courses of antibiotics. Diagnosis as GM caused by Hafnia alvei bacteria was only confirmed by biopsy of the inflammatory mass and culture of the pus. The course of treatment was over three years, with three relapses.
