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

backgroundLate solidified hematoma is a rare complication of breast reconstruction with latissimus dorsi (LD) flap. The majority of hematomas occur in the immediate postoperative period; however, some cases can occur at a distant point in time after surgery and do not have a definitive mechanism of injury or develop symptoms immediately after the triggering event. Moreover, treatment of hematoma has not yet been established. CASE PRESENTATION: Breast reconstruction with LD flap has been performed between January 2014 and June 2018 in more than 275 cases. We report 3 cases of late solidified hematoma at the back-donor site that have developed years after breast reconstruction with LD flap, in which a surgical approach was performed because the solidified hematomas could not be treated with percutaneous aspiration.

conclusionsWe report successful surgical treatment and histological findings of late-onset solidified hematoma as a rare complication of Breast reconstruction with LD flap.
