Avoiding soy foods and certain nuts and seed foods in the management of severe cyclical mastalgia: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in global women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
Severe cyclical mastalgia is a common condition that can substantially impair women's daily activities and quality of life. Pharmacological treatments are often used, but non-pharmacological strategies remain underexplored. We report a case of a 28-year-old woman with long-standing severe cyclical mastalgia and hyperprolactinemia, who achieved symptom resolution through strict avoidance of soy foods and certain nuts, while maintaining her usual lifestyle and diet otherwise. Hormonal measurements indicated decreases in premenstrual prolactin, progesterone and estradiol levels, and even minimal intake of these foods provoked mild breast discomfort. This case suggests a potential link between soy consumption and cyclical mastalgia in susceptible individuals and highlights the possibility of non-pharmacological dietary management. Further research is needed to assess the efficacy, safety, and broader applicability of this approach.
