A Unique Case of a Massive Fungating Fibroadenoma of the Breast: Clinical and Pathological Insights.
Article in Cureus, 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
Fibroadenoma is a type of benign tumor that occurs in breast tissues, commonly in younger age groups. However, the presentation of the patient described below shows how the disease presents in various manners. A 52-year-old woman presented to the outpatient clinic with a unilateral, giant, left-sided fungating breast mass who was later admitted under the General Surgical team, at Salmaniya Medical Complex (SMC) for further corresponding diagnostic workup. A staging CT scan of the abdomen/pelvis and chest/thorax showed a left, large, heterogeneously enhancing, fungating breast lesion, involving most breast quadrants measuring around 17 × 12 cm with an unexpected hamartoma in the right breast. An incidental finding of leiomyoma was found on the left lateral border of the uterine cervix. Diagnosis of giant fibroadenoma was established only after the surgical management was completed. Management of this case was approached by multidisciplinary surgical teams. We are reporting this case to highlight the significance of the breast screening protocols, hence avoiding late and complicated presentations of the disease. This case report is one of few, which will help future researchers formulate precise guidelines dedicated to huge fibroadenomas.
