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

Adenomyoepithelioma (AME) of the breast is a rare biphasic tumor composed of epithelial and myoepithelial elements, with malignant transformation being exceptionally uncommon. We report a case of pure malignant adenomyoepithelioma (M-AME) in a 51-year-old woman who presented with a gradually enlarging left breast mass. Imaging revealed a 3.6 cm lesion, and core biopsy showed biphasic proliferation with myoepithelial atypia and high mitotic activity. Wide local excision with oncoplastic reduction achieved negative margins, and histopathology confirmed pure M-AME (pT2 pN0), triple-negative for estrogen, progesterone, and Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2, with a Ki-67 index of 35%-40%. The patient received adjuvant radiotherapy and remains disease-free at 1 year. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of M-AME, underscores the importance of immunohistochemistry and complete excision with negative margins, and adds to the limited literature on this exceptionally rare breast neoplasm.
