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
backgroundHematological malignancies involving the breast are rare and can mimic primary breast carcinomas. The recent release of the ACR BI-RADS v2025 Manual introduces updated descriptors that may enhance the characterization of breast lesions.
aimsThis study aims to characterize the multimodality imaging features of histopathologically proven breast involvement in lymphoma, leukemia, and plasmacytoma, specifically utilizing the BI-RADS v2025 Manual.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical and radiological data of 25 patients with primary or secondary hematological breast involvement. Imaging findings from mammography (MG), ultrasound (US), elastography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were evaluated.
resultsThe cohort (mean age: 50.4 ± 17.6 years) showed a high prevalence of secondary involvement (96%), multifocal (64%), and bilateral (36%) disease. On MG, an equal-to-high-density mass with a lobulated shape and obscured margins, without associated microcalcifications, was the predominant finding. US most frequently demonstrated a lobulated mass with indistinct margin, heterogeneous echotexture, and parallel orientation, often accompanied by an echogenic rind and posterior acoustic enhancement. On elastography, approximately 60% of lesions exhibited intermediate stiffness. MRI typically revealed T2-hyperintense mass with heterogeneous contrast enhancement and marked diffusion restriction (low ADC values). Axillary lymphadenopathy was present in 52% of the cases.
conclusionHematologic malignancies typically present as lobulated shape, non-calcified masses with obscured or indistinct margins, intermediate elasticity, and marked diffusion restriction. Awareness of these patterns within the BI-RADS v2025 framework is essential for achieving a precise diagnosis and will prevent unnecessary surgical interventions.
