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

Adenomyoepithelioma of the breast (AME) is a rare tumor characterized by a dual proliferation of epithelial and myoepithelial cells. Although typically benign, AME carries a significant risk of recurrence and, in rare cases, malignant transformation. Its rarity, variable imaging features, and histological complexity make diagnosis challenging. Because it can closely mimic invasive breast carcinoma and overlap with other myoepithelial lesions, accurate histopathological assessment is essential. Here, we present the case of a 58-year-old woman with AME diagnosed on mastectomy following an initial misdiagnosis as carcinoma based on biopsy results. We review the literature and highlight the histopathological pitfalls associated with this rare entity.
