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

Fibromatosis is a rare neoplasm characterized by fibroblastic and myofibroblastic proliferation. Fibromatosis that occurred in the accessory breast has never been reported in the literature worldwide. We present a case of extra-abdominal fibromatosis of the accessory breast occurring in a 36-year-old Chinese female patient. The tumor was hard with unclear boundaries and adhered to surrounding tissues (6 × 4 × 3 cm). Despite that malignancy was initially suspected based on clinical, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results, histopathology and immunohistochemistry showed an unexpected outcome. At the 2-year postoperative follow-up, there was no recurrence; the prognosis was explained to the patient. This case emphasizes the importance of clinical suspicion and histopathological evaluation and the need to raise awareness to promote early diagnosis and appropriate management of fibromatosis. We also present a literature review of varied presentations and treatment options for extra-abdominal fibromatosis.
