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

Granulomatous lobular mastitis (GLM), a clinically challenging inflammatory breast disease, is characterized by a high recurrence rate, strong invasiveness, and a trend of affecting younger individuals, posing significant challenges to patients and clinical practitioners. Its pathological processes involve the abnormal activation of multiple signaling pathways, including NF-κB, NLRP3, JAK/STAT, TLR, MAPK, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, and Nrf2/HO-1. These pathways contribute to the disease's onset and progression by regulating inflammatory responses, immune reactions, and oxidative stress. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) demonstrates unique therapeutic value in the treatment of GLM by virtue of its multi-component and multi-target mechanisms. Through modulation of the aforementioned signaling pathways, TCM can effectively inhibit inflammatory cascades, regulate immune imbalance, and ameliorate oxidative stress, thereby reducing lesion size, shortening disease course, and lowering recurrence rates. This article systematically reviews the research progress on GLM-related signaling pathways and integrates the latest evidence on the interventional mechanisms of Chinese medicine, aiming to provide new insights for precision clinical treatment.
