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

Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of the breast is a rare, typically triple-negative malignancy with an indolent course and a biphasic epithelial and myoepithelial histology that can be mistaken for benign or high-risk lesions on core needle biopsy. We describe a 52-year-old woman with two masses at the 4 o'clock position of the right breast, 5 cm and 7 cm from the nipple, in whom ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of the anterior lesion yielded atypical ductal hyperplasia and stereotactic core needle biopsy of the posterior lesion yielded adenomyoepithelioma. Surgical excision of both sites revealed invasive ACC with foci measuring 24 mm and 4 mm, and after mastectomy without adjuvant therapy, the patient remained free of recurrence for 10 years. This case illustrates that ACC of the breast can be misclassified as atypical ductal hyperplasia or adenomyoepithelioma on core needle biopsy and underscores the importance of radiologic-pathologic correlation and surgical excision of high-risk or discordant lesions.
