A Giant Invasive Cribriform Carcinoma Presenting as a Breast Abscess: A Case of Massive Cystic Degeneration.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 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
Invasive cribriform carcinoma (ICC) is a rare, well-differentiated subtype of breast cancer that usually presents as a small, slow-growing solid mass. We report a 57-year-old woman with a giant, painful left breast mass clinically mimicking a breast abscess. Ultrasonography showed a large mixed cystic-solid lesion, and aspiration yielded approximately 900 mL of bloody fluid. Core needle biopsy confirmed ICC of the Luminal A subtype. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy showed limited efficacy, and the patient first underwent sentinel lymph node biopsy (1/8 positive), followed by modified radical mastectomy with axillary lymph node dissection, with postoperative pathology revealing sentinel lymph node metastasis in 1 of 8 nodes. This case highlights that ICC can rarely present as a massive cystic lesion with inflammatory features, and malignancy should be suspected when bloody fluid is aspirated from a presumed breast abscess.
