Autoimmune Mastitis in a Patient with Behcet's Syndrome: A Case Report with Rapid Changes in Radiologic Features and Characteristic Pathologic Findings.
Article in Journal of the Korean Society of Radiology, 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
Breast manifestations of autoimmune diseases are rare but may present as localized disease or as part of a systemic disease. The most common clinical presentations of autoimmune mastitis are palpable masses and mastalgia, but patients can also be asymptomatic. Its radiological features are nonspecific and varied; it usually appears as an irregular hypoechoic mass or ill-defined hypoechoic nonmass lesion that mimics malignancy, with or without duct ectasia on breast ultrasonography. On breast MRI, segmental or regional nonmass enhancement is observed. However, due to its nonspecific and rapid changes in its clinical and radiological features, its diagnosis is often challenging and delayed. Herein, we present a rare case of mastitis with mammary duct ectasia in a patient with Behcet's syndrome and its rapid changes in imaging features on serial radiologic studies. Furthermore, we review the literature focusing on the radiologic and histopathologic characteristics of autoimmune mastitis.
