Cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis: radiologic features and clinical management.
Article in Journal of medical case reports, 2026. 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
backgroundCystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis is a rare benign breast inflammatory disease often associated with Corynebacterium kroppenstedtii. Its clinical and radiologic features frequently mimic breast carcinoma, leading to diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a North African 41-year-old woman with pituitary insufficiency who developed a painless, enlarging breast mass. Multimodality imaging (ultrasound, mammography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging) all suggested malignancy, with magnetic resonance imaging classified as Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System 5. Core needle biopsy suggested cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis. Due to discordance between suspicious imaging and benign histology, the patient underwent surgical excision. Final pathology confirmed cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis. At 12-month follow-up, the patient remained recurrence free.
conclusionThis case highlights the diagnostic challenge of cystic neutrophilic granulomatous mastitis, particularly when imaging strongly suggests carcinoma. It emphasizes the indispensable role of histopathology and the need for multidisciplinary management to avoid overtreatment.
