Male Tuberous Breast: A Rare Variant of Gynecomastia.
Article in Cureus, 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
Tuberous breast deformity is well described in females but remains rare in males, where it represents an uncommon morphological variant of gynecomastia. It is characterized by a constricted breast base, enlarged nipple-areolar complex (NAC), inframammary fold indentation, and apparent parenchymal herniation into the areola. We report the case of a 17-year-old male presenting with progressive bilateral breast enlargement since the age of 11, with marked worsening at 16 years and significant psychosocial distress. Clinical examination revealed bilateral glandular gynecomastia with enlarged NACs, mild asymmetry, and global base constriction consistent with a severe tuberous deformity. Ultrasonography showed homogeneous glandular hypertrophy, and endocrine evaluation was normal. Surgical correction using glandular transection and release of constricting elements resulted in satisfactory aesthetic outcomes without complications. Male tuberous breast deformity is an underrecognized entity requiring tailored surgical management addressing both glandular excess and base constriction.
