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

Granular cell tumor of the breast (GCTB) is a rare benign lesion that constitutes a well-recognized diagnostic pitfall owing to its potential to simulate malignant breast neoplasms on imaging. We present a 50-year-old woman with a palpable, painless breast mass demonstrating relatively well-defined borders on imaging. Multimodal ultrasound was highly suspicious for malignancy, whereas dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) favored a benign process. Core needle biopsy with immunohistochemistry established the diagnosis of benign GCTB. This case highlights that GCTB may closely mimic breast cancer on ultrasound, which can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary overtreatment. For radiologists, recognition of this diagnostic pitfall is critical: ultrasound features suggestive of malignancy do not reliably exclude GCTB. A multimodal imaging approach, supplemented by targeted core needle biopsy and immunohistochemistry, is essential to avoid misinterpretation and establish the correct diagnosis.
