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

Angiolipoma is a benign variant of lipoma characterized by vascular proliferation among mature adipocytes, most commonly found on the extremities of young males. Cellular angiolipoma of the breast is extremely rare, with fewer than five cases reported in the English literature. We present a case of cellular angiolipoma in a 72-year-old female, manifesting as a 0.7 × 0.7 × 0.4 cm hyperechoic mass on ultrasound. Histopathological examination revealed a predominantly cellular lesion (~90%) interspersed with mature adipose tissue and abundant fibrin thrombi within small capillaries. The cellular component comprised spindle cells and vascular clusters with bland nuclei and low mitotic activity. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining and human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) immunohistochemistry were negative. A diagnosis of benign cellular angiolipoma of the breast was made, with the tumor superficially involving the subcutaneous layer. The patient recovered uneventfully post-procedure. This report also discusses the pathophysiology and possible mechanisms underlying the development of angiolipoma.
