Accurate Pathological Prediction of Small Breast Cancer With Pathological Component-based Image Evaluation: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
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
Routine mammography screening in a 63-year-old woman showed a small breast mass with indistinct borders. Ultrasound showed a triangle mass, 12 mm in size, which had somewhat unclear anterior borders with focal strong high echoes at their center, multiple punctate echogenic foci in the internal low echoes, and slightly attenuated posterior echoes. Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the tumor showed a hypointense pattern both on T1- and fat-suppressed T2-weighted images. Time-signal intensity images of MRI showed weak early enhancement followed by a persistent pattern. These imaging findings suggested that cancer cells with some kind of papillary structures would be present sparsely and diffusely in the fibrous background. After the pathological confirmation of malignant cells, the patient underwent a partial mastectomy and sentinel node biopsy. Postoperative pathological study showed that atypical cells growing in a tubular fashion spread sparsely and diffusely in the fibrous background extending to the tumor edges. In conclusion, by understanding how collagen fibers, fat, and cancer cells affect image depiction in each imaging modality, diagnostic physicians can accurately predict the pathological findings even of small breast cancer.
