Intraductal papilloma of the breast: low risk, but handle with care.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionThis study aims to investigate the management of patients with breast papillomas without atypia diagnosed after ultrasound-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective, single-centre study analysed 179 patients diagnosed with benign papillomas without atypia between 1999 and 2022. Of these, 32 patients underwent surgery, while the remaining were managed with active surveillance. Diagnostic underestimation was assessed in the surgical group. The association between post-biopsy residual lesions and subsequent surgical management (surgery vs no surgery) with the incidence of recurrence was evaluated.
resultsThe study cohort had a median age of 49, with 76% of lesions completely removed via VABB. In the surgery group, 9% (95% CI: 2%-25%) had an underestimation, including upgrades to in situ or invasive carcinoma. Among the 126 patients with available follow-up data, 9 (7%) experienced recurrence events on the same side and in the same quadrant. In the multivariable Fine and Gray regression model, patients with post-biopsy residual lesions managed without surgery had a significantly higher recurrence risk than those without residual lesions (HR = 6.76, p = 0.015). Among patients with post-biopsy residual lesions who underwent surgery, the risk of recurrence was not significantly different from the reference group (HR = 1.80, p = 0.56). Additionally, age at biopsy was identified as an independent risk factor for recurrence (HR = 1.41, p = 0.001), whereas lesion diameter showed no significant association (HR = 1.14, p = 0.49).
conclusionsSurgical resection may be warranted in cases of papillomas with incomplete removal at VABB, where recurrence risk appears to be higher.
