Table 1_Therapeutic strategies for idiopathic granulomatous mastitis: an umbrella review o

Six systematic reviews and meta-analyses published between 2017 and 2026 were included in this umbrella review evaluating treatment strategies for idiopathic granulomatous mastitis. The dataset, created by Shuyu Yao and last updated in June 2026, aggregates findings on remission, recurrence, and safety from 97 unique primary studies. Steroid-based combination therapy showed the most consistent favorable signal for recurrence reduction across the included reviews.

Use Cases

• Comparing the efficacy of steroid-based combination therapy versus monotherapy based on aggregated review findings.
• Analyzing the methodological quality and overlap of primary studies in systematic reviews based on the AMSTAR-2 and CCA assessments.
• Identifying promising alternative treatments like local steroid or methotrexate-based therapy based on the review conclusions.
• Assessing the long-term recurrence control of different therapeutic strategies for a rare chronic disease.

Strengths

• Aggregates evidence from six systematic reviews and meta-analyses covering research up to March 2026.
• Includes a network meta-analysis and evaluates 97 unique primary studies.
• Assesses methodological quality using the AMSTAR-2 tool and study overlap using the Corrected Covered Area (3.30%).

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 10.7 KB, indicating limited raw data content.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The overall certainty of the underlying evidence is described as limited due to methodological weaknesses in the included reviews.
