Breast carcinomas associated with microglandular adenosis are linked to germline alterations in homologous recombination-deficiency genes.

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
Invasive breast carcinomas associated with microglandular adenosis (IBC-MGA) represent a rare and poorly characterized form of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We analyzed clinical, pathological, and germline genetic data from 38 patients, including 34 IBC-MGAs and 4 in situ cases. Germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in homologous recombination-deficiency (HRD) genes were found in 42% (16/38) of patients, predominantly in BRCA1 (81%, 13/16). Most tumors were grade 3 invasive ductal or metaplastic carcinomas with limited tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. No significant clinicopathologic differences were observed between germline HRD-associated and sporadic cases. Paired tumor-normal targeted sequencing revealed frequent TP53 mutations and high HRD scores. These findings underscore the relationship of breast carcinomas associated with MGA with HRD-related germline variants and highlight the potential for targeted therapeutic strategies and the importance of genetic testing in this rare subset of TNBC.
