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

Diabetic mastopathy (DMP) is a rare fibroinflammatory condition of the breast seen in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), which mimics malignancy on imaging. We present eight cases of biopsy-proven DMP with typical (1/8 cases) and atypical (7/8 cases) imaging appearances and describe their histopathological features including duct dilatation/distortion, tight periductal cuffing by inflammatory infiltrates, type of inflammatory infiltrate, stromal fibrosis, epithelial fibroblasts, and grade of lobulitis (mild, moderate, and severe). Our case series depicts the varied atypical imaging findings in DMP and the indispensable role of histopathology in diagnosis. The postbiopsy diagnosis of DM in one of our patients highlights the possible role of histopathology in the detection of patients who may be prone to develop diabetes later. Our series also showed a lack of correlation between the radiopathological findings and clinical features such as duration or type of DM, treatment, and glycemic control status.
