The Evolution of Breast Implant Infections:
Article in Plastic surgery (Oakville, Ont.), 2019. 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
The flora of implant-based breast infections has changed over the last decade, including at our institution. A 10-year retrospective chart review was performed on 561 implant-based breast reconstructions in 378 patients performed by a single surgeon in an academic university hospital setting. Thirty-two breast infections requiring explantation of the implants occurred during those 10 years. During that time frame, a new pre- and peri-operative protocol was implemented in an effort to diminish infections. We believe that this protocol played a major role in the evolution of changing breast periprosthetic infection flora, from nearly one-third being gram-negative infections to 100% being gram-negative infections. Gram-negative antibiotic coverage should be considered in light of these evolving trends to prevent infections particularly with
