Trends in Atypical Ductal Hyperplasia Diagnosis and Upgrade: A 20-Year Experience and Impact of MRI Use on Upgrade Rates.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2025. 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
backgroundAtypical ductal hyperplasia (ADH) is a benign proliferative breast lesion. Surgical excision of ADH is often recommended to rule out underlying malignant disease.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the trends in ADH upgrade rates over time and identify the impact of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) use on upgrade rates.
methodsRetrospective review of a prospectively maintained institutional database was used to identify women diagnosed with ADH by core needle biopsy between 2004 and 2022. Trends in ADH upgrade to in situ and invasive disease as well as clinicopathologic factors associated with upgrade were analyzed.
resultsA total of 975 ADH cases were identified between 2004 and 2022. Of these, 361 (37.0%) met our multidisciplinary criteria for excision and thus met the inclusion criteria for this study. A total of 93 (25.8%) patients were found to have upgrade on final surgical pathology. When compared across quartiles of time, there were no significant changes in overall rates of upgrade over the study time period despite changes in diagnostic modalities. In women selectively referred for excision based on standardized imaging and pathology criteria, enhancement on preoperative MRI was not found to be significantly associated with increased rates of ADH upgrade.
conclusionWhile trends in diagnostic modality of ADH have changed over time, we found that rates of ADH upgrade have remained stable over time and are not associated with imaging modality, suggesting that enhancements in imaging technology have not improved our ability to preoperatively identify patients with a concurrent malignancy.
